Working together on a custom woven piece was a thoughtful and collaborative process from start to finish. Rebecca took the time to understand the story, setting, and intent behind the work, translating that into something both meaningful and beautiful. The piece has become the focal point of the main lobby and people are genuinely excited to recognize it as a map of Chanhassen and to identify familiar landmarks. They love how the textures and colors contrast with and complement the building's wood and glass, helping tie the entire space together.

Rebecca was an exceptional partner throughout the project. She is a clear and thoughtful communicator, highly responsive, and proactive at every stage of the process. She welcomed feedback, incorporated it seamlessly, and consistently met deadlines, making the entire experience smooth, professional, and enjoyable.

On a personal note, I love the piece so much. I’ve never had the opportunity to commission artwork, and I’m so pleased with how it turned out and how much people love it. Thank you for being part of our project!

Working with Rebecca Whitaker was an absolute delight from start to finish. From our earliest conversations, she approached the commission with openness, curiosity, and a deep sensitivity to both the client and the setting of their Montana home. The collaboration felt truly reciprocal—we worked closely with Rebecca on the size, color palette, and overall emotional tone of the piece, and she translated those conversations into something far more beautiful than we could have imagined.

The resulting work, Everything becoming, Everything Here, is perfectly attuned to its surroundings; carrying a quiet sense of movement and transformation. Rebecca’s artistry lies not only in her technical skill with textiles, but in her ability to listen deeply and respond with intention and grace. The process of working with Rebecca was thoughtful and seamless. We would enthusiastically welcome the opportunity to collaborate with her again.

Commissioning a piece is always a risky endeavor. Will the artist understand my vision? Have I made my own thoughts clear? Working with Rebecca takes that risk away. She communicated expectations clearly and regularly updated me on her progress so that she could change course or colors if needed. She balanced her artistic vision with my particular needs so it is a collaborative effort. As for the art itself, it is simply stunning. Photos of her pieces can capture some of the texture and dimensionality, but both are so much more in real life. The piece is restrained in its overall use of colors, but riotous in its expression of various textures. It was the coziness needed in our living room and has become its focal point. I can't thank you enough, Rebecca.
