| Becca Dent | |

Hello, my name is Rebecca Prema Dent ( becca for short). I am 28 and was born and adopted from India in 1980. I grew up in Grantham, PA but now I am living in South Philadelphia with my boyfriend Brian and cat Thomas. I am working at being an artist. |
| About the Artist | |
Having been adopted from India when I was a baby, with no records of my biological family and very few pictures or memories of any kind. My personality seems to be a melting pot of fairy tales, punk rock love and a longing for acceptance. Through my art I would like to share my fears, dreams and a raw look inside of what makes up my unusual exstence. Overall though, my goal has always been to inspire, open minds and challenge not only myself but my viewers as well. |
