Rebekah Lazaridis is helping carry Pinellas County’s printmaking tradition into the future. A third-generation St. Petersburg resident, she began studying printmaking in 2022 under the mentorship of Holly Bird and Stephen Littlefield before developing a practice rooted in traditional techniques and careful craftsmanship.
Working primarily in intaglio processes such as etching, aquatint, and mezzotint, Lazaridis creates richly detailed prints inspired by nature, history, folklore, and the architecture of historic places. Her work reflects a passion for storytelling and preservation, blending artistic skill with a deep appreciation for the people and places that shape our shared history.
Today, Lazaridis teaches beginner intaglio etching at the Dunedin Fine Art Center, introducing new artists to a medium that has connected generations of printmakers. Her journey from student to instructor reflects the enduring tradition of mentorship that continues to define printmaking in Pinellas County.
Through her work, Rebekah Lazaridis reminds us that every new artist builds upon the knowledge, craftsmanship, and inspiration passed down by those who came before.
