Partners in Life and in the Arts
an interview with rebecca and gary stevens
By Clara Nartey
​
Ghanian-born writer and figurative artist working with digital tools, threads, and textiles to celebrate Black hair in contemporary art.
​
​
Rebecca and Gary Stevens are partners in life and in the arts. These high-school sweethearts have been friends for sixty plus years. They have shared interests in many things including contemporary and ethnic crafts and have both been members of the same organizations for decades. Although they each have their own individual hobbies, their joint interest in collecting art, which was initially started by Rebecca, has resulted in an extensive collection. I had tons of questions about their collection and they had answers for me. Let’s meet The Stevens. 

CN: Can you give us a little background about who you are?
The Stevens: Gary and I [Rebecca] are high school sweethearts from Oklahoma. We met in ninth grade Latin class in 1961 in Tulsa. We have been married for 54 years. The Latin has faded but not our relationship. We are still best friends.
