Who Am I?
Who Am I?
Rebekah Molander is a Contemporary Houston Artist. Her journey to becoming a full-time artist began as a child, she feel in love with creating, with color, with being able to express herself in a way she couldn’t with words.
Rebekah’s art, while usually bright and colorful, is all about growth and connection. Her style is constantly evolving but in the end is always about her just trying to draw a line around her thoughts and emotions.
Her journey with art has been an incredible adventure that she is proud to share with her husband Todd and their son Spencer. Together, they’ve displayed Rebekah’s art in Tent Shows, Studio Shows, Solo and Group Exhibits, Galleries and everywhere in between.
Rebekah started partnering with Local Charities in 2021, since then she has Painted Live and used her art to raise money for over 20 non profits totaling in over $25,000 raised through art. She calls it The Art of Giving, and additional holds her own “Art of Giving” Event out of her Winter Street Studio every year that lasts the entire month of November.
Her art and story have been featured in local and on line papers: “The Leader”, "VoyageHouston", “Bold Journey”, “Canvas Rebel”, “ShoutOut Houston” (2023 & 2024), “The Houston Chronicle” (articles linked) and in the “50 Artists Houston” book.

While she works and paints out of her home studio, in addition to displaying in Galleries around Houston, you can always see Rebekah’s work in person at her Winter Street Studio in Houston’s Sawyer Yards, Studio C120.
I am a Contemporary Houston Artist. As far back as I can remember, all I ever wanted to do was create. When I was little I just wanted to make beautiful things to make people smile. As I got older and experienced more in life, I found I had a lot I actually wanted to say, but had a hard time putting it into words… but Where Words Fail, Art Speaks.
My style is constantly evolving and changing and growing with me, but in the end, I’m just here trying to draw a line around my thoughts.
My Art is Bright, and Exciting, and sometimes Intense, and I am constantly trying new styles and techniques. Constantly trying to learn new things and continue growing.
For me, it’s always about the connection though. The connection between me and what I create, the connection between my collectors and what I create and the connection between me and my collectors.
In 2021 I started partnering with Local Charities, since then I have Painted Lived and Used My Art to raise money for over 20 non profits totaling in over $25,000 raised through art. I call it the Art of Giving, and in addition to working live with these charities at their galas, I hold my own “Art of Giving” Event out of my Winter Street Studio every year, that lasts the entire month of November.
In 2023 I am especially proud to have met Dr. Alanna Bree, who is a Pediatric Dermatologist and the founder of the “Made A Masterpiece” Foundation. I have been working closely with her since then and in 2024 I became part of her Masterpiece Collective and am working with three other Artists on a Traveling Art Installation to raise awareness about Skin Disease and Help everyone, and especially the Children that live with it to Learn To Love The Skin They Are In.
The Exhibit is scheduled to open in our very own Houston Health Museum in 2026 and from there it will travel for three years across the U.S.
My art is just a collection of all of my thoughts, my dreams, my feelings, and my stories I could never figure out how to say, so I put them on a canvas and draw a line around them.
Every day I get up and I paint, some days it good, some days it not, but tomorrow I’m going to get up and do it again. I’m practicing techniques, I’m trying new styles. I see things I’m interested in and and I try it over and over and over again until I figure out how to do it, and once I understand how to do something, I start asking, now how can I say what I want to say with this, and then I start working on that. Some days I get up and I make more of a mess than I do art, and I fail at what I’m trying to say and how I want it to come out over and over and over again, and I learn something from every mistake I make, and then I get up tomorrow and I do it a little bit better. Art isn’t something that just magically comes out of person, it’s work, just like everything else, it’s practice, and failure and frustration. It’s putting yourself out there and hoping someone gets it and responds to it every day. I fail more often than I win, but when I get it, when it comes together after weeks or months of work, and I not only know what I did but I understand how I did it, that’s magic for me. I can look at a painting and I can see my own growth in, that’s something to be proud of.
I am proud to have been featured in several solo and group galleries exhibits all over Houston, but my art can always be found in my personal Winter Street Studio in Sawyer Yards in Houston, Studio C120.
