Rebecca B. Alston (born May 12, 1951)^{[citation needed]} is an American artist known for interdisciplinary visual art and architectural design through her experimental and investigative approach to form, media, and processes. She has produced a wide range of works including paintings, drawings, prints, wall reliefs, and custom-designed forms. A significant focus of Alston's work has been the study and application of color, explored through psychological, environmental, and musical lenses. She spent much of her professional life in New York City and has been associated with movements such as Postmodernism and, more specifically, Deconstructivism. Influenced by the Avant-garde in her early years, Alston's later work became increasingly associated with Neo-modernism by exploring the interaction of form and color through evolving methodologies. Alston grew up in the Gulf Coast regions of Mississippi and Louisiana.^{[citation needed]}

Alston's work has been presented in solo exhibitions across the United States and internationally, including in the Netherlands, London, Brazil and Tokyo. Her works are held in both private and public collections, including the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., Museum of Geometric and MADI Art in Dallas.,.^[1] Mississippi Museum of Art in Mississippi,^[2] and the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art at Auburn University.^[3] She was awarded the Bronze Prize in the International Urban Art Plaza Competition by the Japanese government, the only U.S. recipient among 233 entrants from 40 countries. She is also recognized as an honored artist by the Mississippi Committee (MSC) of the National Museum of Women in the Arts and received a fellowship from the Woodstock School of Art.
