Rebecca Tillett
Rebecca Tillett (1982) raised in Las Cruses, New Mexico as an only child by her Australian mom and American dad.
"My dad and I had a rough relationship (as was true with him and many others) and he committed suicide when I was 16 before I had the chance to repair said relationship. Ask anybody close to me and they'll confess that that is my largest piece of emotional baggage - and they're not kidding when they say I reluctantly lurch forward with that dragging behind me."
"I became interested in the female body around my sophomore year of high school. Natascha Merritt was my first real inspiration, and still remains very high on my list. I'm attracted to anything against the grain, anything that's ' wrong,' that's unnecessary, that's unacceptable." - The New Erotic Photography
Rebecca graduated highschool in 2001 and graduated with her Associate Degree in Digital Graphics in 2003. She attempted to get her Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design and Photography at New Mexico State. "It didn't take me long to decide that I hated it. Most of the teachers I encountered were stuffy, ego-driven and unhelpful and the majority of "art-projects" assigned did little to further me as an artist in addition to a well-rounded individual. Basically, it was busy work and I wasn't in the mood to waste my time."
Currently Rebecca is living in Colorado with her boyfriend and her two cats Frodo and Blue.
