Currently living in Montreal and a graduate of Concordia's MFA program in Painting where she was awarded the J. W. McConnell Memorial Fellowship, Rebecca Anweiler is an honours graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design. She has taught courses Painting and Drawing at Concordia University and the University of Lethbridge, Alberta. Previous careers and education in both the biological sciences and community education influence Anweiler's art practice, where she is primarily concerned with conceptual painting that addresses historically-reproduced and taken-for-granted notions of gender and sexuality. One of her paintings from the Magnets and Heat series belongs to the City of Toronto Public Collection and currently hangs at City Hall.
