ABOUT THE ARTIST

Rebecca McGee Tuck is a fiber artist, sculptor and dedicated ocean activist. Her artwork serves as a visual narrative, transforming discarded materials from our throw-away society into revitalized creations. Tuck's sculptures have been featured in numerous juried exhibitions across the Northeast, including Danforth Art Museum, Fitchburg Art Museum, Boston Sculptors Gallery, Viridian Artists Gallery in NYC, and the George Marshall Store Gallery in York, Maine.

Tuck has held artist residencies at the New Bedford Whaling Historical National Park and the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where she collaborated with sculpture and sustainability students to create a massive performative public art installation called “Sculpture Monster” that was paraded through the cobblestone streets of New Bedford for an Earth Day Celebration. Her series, “Along the Wrack Line,” addresses the pressing issue of debris and plastic pollution on New England beaches, highlighting the environmental challenges faced by our coastal regions.
