Watercolour Painting at Pentz Elementary


I gave a special Watercolour workshop for grade six students at Pentz Elementary for the Fort Point Historical Society. The students created images inspired by maps designed by the the earliest European settlers of the Lahave region. I showed them how to use salt and oil pastels to achieve interesting effects with the paint.


The paintings turned out beautifully!







Hula Hooping at the West Dublin Market


 Thanks to everyone who came out for the Hooping workshop at the West Dublin Market!


We had lots of fun making hoops and learning new tricks!


Lunenburg Academy Memory Quilt


The students who created the Lunenburg Academy Memory Quilt Project and I were invited to a Genealogy Conference in Lunenburg. We were asked to speak about the process of making the quilt and officially handed over the quilt to the Academy.

The quilt currently hangs at the Bluenose Academy in Lunenburg. Check it out!

Prints for Purchase

I just opened my etsy shop, also called Rebecca Roher Art, where you can find archival quality prints of my original watercolour paintings.
The prints are bright, beautiful and look shockingly like the originals. Plus, they make great gifts!
