The intent of Dent's work is to evoke emotional responses, establishing a moment of communication between the viewer and artist. Each communication is unique, but all share a sense of peace. Dent seeks refuge in art, focusing on the beauty and tranquility of the natural world to create canvases that interrupt the hectic dissonance of city life. Drawing heavily on the imagery of Eastern philosophies and cultures, Rebeccah1s work allows us, even forces us, to pause for at least that moment of exchange.
