The Wooden Box Gallery
Hello & Welcome...
Hi there, my name is Rebekah Sunshine & I set up The Wooden Box Gallery to help support amateur, student & outsider artists as well as hosting Open Call themed shows on on interesting, unusual & relatable topics.
​
Even as a child, I wanted to be an artist, often skipping school to visit the City Art Gallery in Southampton. When the staff chased me out, I'd hide in the library next door, by immersing myself in art books I found inspiration and a sense of belonging in the lives, ideas and works of famous artists.
​
Despite my passion, I never thought it would be possible that I could be an artist, let alone own the Gallery that I yearned for as a lost 13-year-old.
It's a long story with many twists & turns, but I never gave up hope, taking jobs that allowed me time & money to continue making art. Finally at age 50 I was able to become the full time Artist I always wanted to be! Now, with the gallery, I hope to extend that opportunity to others who also are on their own creative & expressive journey.
​
It has been an exciting 3 year delicious rollercoaster which has included opening a Community Coffee Shop, opening a framing studio, working with schools & groups & helping be part of the High St Regeneration.
