Vibrant patterns, rich textures, and gorgeous botany drawn from verdant forests, Rebecca Duckett-Wilkinson’s art is deeply intertwined with her mission to speak out against the relentless march of development threatening the soul of Penang.

Rebecca, who will exhibit her paintings “A Travelling Artist’s Diary”, at Hikayat along Beach Street, from July 30 to Aug 31, echoes the sentiments of many Penangites that the island is changing at an alarming pace.
