Rebecca Angel studied fashion and textiles at the University of Brighton in the 1990s, and she has been working in the fashion and textile industry ever since. In her art, Rebecca acknowledges the wasteful processes of the fashion industry and the fact that she, as a textile designer, is complicit. For this reason, Rebecca eschews virgin paper, trying instead to repurpose the materials and surfaces that are both source and byproduct of her own textile design work.

In recent years, Rebecca has begun to diversify her practice, engaging with new opportunities to develop her own multi-disciplinary approach to art.

She is based in the Red Herring Cooperative in Portslade.
