Rebekah is a senior at Miami University, majoring in Botany and minoring in 2-D Media Studies and Molecular Biology.\u00a0This semester, Rebekah\u2019s work is exhibited in Miami University Art Museum\u2019s Student Response Exhibition (SRE)\u00a0Conflict & Resolution<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Rebekah’s dream job is to be a plant researcher curating an herbarium. Her favorite arts venue is the St. Louis Art Museum, located in St. Louis, Missouri.\u00a0Her favorite food is ice cream and her favorite restaurant in Oxford is Phan-Shin! Outside of school, Rebekah enjoys hiking and photography. She is a member of a club\u00a0on Miami University’s campus called Navigators Student Organization.<\/p>\n

Fun Fact: Rebekah and her family own a small farm and raise sheep. Sheep are her favorite animal! Along with sheep, her family has a dog, a cat, and FOUR llamas.<\/p>\n

Art has helped Rebekah in her research internship, where she did\u00a0image analysis of plant parts. She explains that understanding the data behind images sped up the process of manipulating the image to extract the shape information. She\u00a0says that if she were to ever name a plant species, she would like to produce her own botanical drawing to go with the publication- connecting her passion for art and her passion for science!<\/p>\n

Rebekah chose Miami University because of her major and the department culture. She is a part of the Miami University Art Museum because of the Student Response Exhibition.\u00a0Next fall, Rebekah will be attending the University of Minnesota for graduate school for a PhD in Plant Biology.<\/p>\n

Come see the exhibition and vote for your top three pieces! Voting will continue until April 12 and the awards ceremony for exhibited artists will be held on April 13, from 5-7pm.<\/p>\n
