I am an Artist.
A simple one who laughs and lives life on her terms.
I paint, sculpt, draw cartoons and caricatures,
I am also a Guinness World Record holder.
I have a National Award to my name,
my family taught me to play fair in the game.
I also manage events and plan weddings,
happiness is what I keep spreading.
I love colors and fell in love with them when I was two.
Talent when not guided can just fall through.
I never stopped working on my love,
creativity and optimism still keep me flying like a dove.
Belief in self and that success needs no short-cuts,
I work hard and take life head on.
Follow your passion and let your imagination soar high,
only then you can touch the sky.
My family is my strength,
and they encourage me to work on my goals at any length.
My name is Rebecca Taylor and I am an Artist.
Today is edition #13 of #WomenAtWork, a photo feature on this blog. If you are interested in participating, please read the inaugural post and join by adding your linky below. I would love to see your take on the tag.
I met Rebecca who prefers to be called Becky through an office friend AB. I have never met someone as versatile and vivacious as Becky. Her achievements are incredible and every time I spoke to her, I could feel how simple, energetic and focused she is. We need more women like Becky around us. She tells me to never give up, follow one’s passion and above all, work hard and believe in yourself.
How to link?
- You can only join with a blog post.
- It would be great to see a picture of a woman at work and a few words about her. If you cannot share a picture, you can share a picture of her workspace. With a real picture, I would still be able to call this a photo post.
- Use the linky to add your post.
- Visit others and show some love.
happiness and food

Can’t articulate how heartening it is to see women step out and spread their wings, Parul. It is wonderful. I remember Margaret Thatcher saying “If you want something to be said, tell a man. But if you want something done, tell a woman.”
What a wonderful poem dedicated to her too. Highlights what a woman can do, and the heights she can scale.
