Rebecca [White] Mushtare, formerly a central New York artist/maker, is now a Southeastern New York artist/maker. Her work is often inspired by observation and curiosity and guided by research. Although trained in graphic design (BFA, SUNY Oswego) and computer art (MFA, Syracuse University), she discovered the discipline of (and her own maternal history of) fiber arts in graduate school. Her work now combines and spans both fiber and digital arts.
For Mushtare, creative work in all media is a doorway leading to dialogue and action surrounding a wide variety of contemporary local and global concerns/practices. This belief has historically led her to seek local teaching artist opportunities including: her current Assistant Professorship at Marymount Manhattan College, Art Daze (Aldrich Museum), The Art Institute (SUNY Oswego), and the YMCA of Greater Syracuse After-School Arts Program (Delaware Elementary).
