Elmhurst Artists' Guild Gallery: Summer Members' Show - OPENING POSTPONED

The Elmhurst Artists' Guild presents their Summer Members' Show, with featured artist, Rebecca Russow, from June 28th through July 24th 2026.

POSTPONED! The Opening Reception will not happen Friday, July 3rd due to recent storms

Rebecca Russow works in collage, encaustic, and clay. Her deep connection to nature is reflected in the organic shapes, patterns, and textures that emerge in her work. She's drawn to the challenge of combining diverse elements and finding harmony within complexity.

Rebecca explains, "While I often begin with a general idea, I rarely rely on sketches. Instead, I let the process unfold intuitively; observing how materials interact and responding to what the piece needs. I allow the work to guide me, letting it speak as it evolves. Some of my pieces are explorations of form and material, while others carry more personal meaning. My hope is to create work that invites viewers to linger, giving them space to connect, interpret, and discover something for themselves."
