Rebecca Sexton Larson (b. 1959) is a multidisciplinary artist living in Paint Lick, Kentucky. She holds dual Bachelor of Arts degrees in Fine Art Painting and Photojournalism from the University of South Florida in Tampa.

Larson’s work incorporates hand-painted and stitched photographs to examine memory, identity, and family. Her personal, story-driven approach investigates the overlap between fact and memory, illuminating stories that are forgotten, concealed, or only partially understood.

She has received numerous honors for her work, including Florida Individual Artist Fellowships in 1998, 2002, and 2008, along with an Artist Enhancement Grant from the State of Florida in 2006. In 2005, she was named the City of Tampa’s Photographer Laureate, during which she documented the city using a pinhole camera. Most recently, Larson was selected as a 2025 Photolucida Critical Mass Top 50 finalist.

Her photographs have been featured in solo and group exhibitions across the United States and abroad. Notable venues include CoExist Galleries & Studios (Essex, U.K.), the University of the Arts (Philadelphia, PA), the Palace of the Governors (Santa Fe, NM), and the Tampa Museum of Art (Tampa, FL). Her work was also included in The Polaroid Project, which was presented at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art (Fort Worth, TX), WestLicht Museum for Photography (Vienna), C/O Berlin (Berlin), and the MIT Museum (Cambridge, MA). Larson’s work is held in both private and public collections.
