Rebecca Sexton Larson (b. 1959) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Paint Lick, Kentucky. She holds dual B.A. degrees in Fine Art Painting and Photojournalism from the University of South Florida.
Rooted in the stories embedded in place and the traces held within family images, her work combines hand-painted and stitched photographs that explore memory, identity, and the shifting space between fact and recollection. In the studio, these histories are reimagined—layered, altered, and allowed to move gently outside traditional boundaries—inviting viewers into quiet spaces where past and present converge.
Larson has received multiple honors, including three Florida Individual Artist Fellowships, an Artist Enhancement Grant, and recognition as Tampa’s Photographer Laureate in 2005. She was named a 2025 Photolucida Critical Mass Top 50 finalist.
Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at CoExist Galleries (U.K.), University of the Arts (PA), the Palace of the Governors (NM), the Tampa Museum of Art (FL), and in The Polaroid Project at major institutions such as the Amon Carter Museum, WestLicht Museum, C/O Berlin, and the MIT Museum. Her photographs are held in both private and public collections.
