I’m a painter, an art-lover, a web designer and a Bostonian.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Background<\/h3>\n

Since 2004, I have been a full-time administrator in higher education, a volunteer at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum<\/a> and a proud Bostonian. Before then, I studied Art History and Art at Ithaca College<\/a> and at Studio Arts College International<\/a> in Florence, Italy. My husband and I got married in March 2012, and I changed my name from Rebecca Daroff to Rebecca DiMattia (everyone calls me Becky). Not only does this mean I can continue signing my works ‘BD’, it also means I have a handsome live-in studio assistant.<\/p>\n

Paintings & Drawings<\/h3>\n

Working mostly in oil or in pencil, I have been creating portraits of friends, still-lifes and landscapes since 1997. On several occasions, I have been honored to create a work of art to capture precious memories<\/a>, from wedding portraits to portraits of the dearly departed. If you are interested in commissioning a work of art, please email me at beckydimattia@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Web Design Projects<\/h3>\n

As a self-taught web designer, I have been maintaining this evolving online portfolio since 1999. I have been an avid photoblogger<\/a> since 2007, I have also developed a series of website devoted to my love of art history. These projects<\/a> <\/strong>include Stories in Art<\/a>, an exploration of paintings that tell stories, and The Sistine Chapel<\/a>, an interactive site that identifies many of the beautiful frescoes in the Sistine Chapel.<\/p>\n
