Rebecca Aronhalt

I was born and raised in Akron, Ohio. While my love of culture and language have led me to travel to many corners of the world, beautiful Akron has always been home base. My work investigates the struggle between pain and beauty, between light and dark in my own life and the lives of the people around me, usually manifest through portraits. I make woodcut prints because I love the process, and because of the way the wood maintains its voice throughout, even to the end product. I am a graduate of the University of Akron, currently pursuing my Master in Teaching English as a Second Language at Kent State, and living and loving life in North Hill, Akron’s International District.
