Influential Women

Rebecca’s sculptures exhibit a wide range of subjects from large bas-reliefs to larger-than-life bronze works. Inspired by the Native American Art of the Eastern United States and Mexico, along with many other cultures. Because of Caleel’s interest in anatomy, much of her work that is not classical includes parts of the body in unusual places not evident until careful examination of the piece. She feels that out of each work of art grows myths, legends, and a history of various groups of people. The artist attempts to capture essential elements behind these emotions, beliefs, fears, and express them as a pointer unto to the future.

Caleel’s goal is to illuminate the absurd in life and make it beautiful, creating a composite view of the world that mirrors the illusion of life and yet gives one pause to reflect on the joy and beauty of that which surrounds us.
