Rebecca Plachte-Zuieback is a California-based mixed-media artist whose work centers on sustainability, storytelling, and the interconnectedness of the natural world. Working primarily with fabric collage and reclaimed materials, she creates richly detailed scenes that blend ecological themes with whimsical, narrative elements.

Her practice emphasizes low-waste methods, transforming discarded textiles into layered compositions that highlight cycles of transition, renewal, and coexistence. Animals frequently appear as symbolic figures within her work, serving as storytellers and stewards of the environment.

Plachte-Zuieback’s background in healthcare informs her environmentally conscious approach, rooted in care, responsibility, and long-term impact. She is the founder of Sustainable For Good, an art-driven eco-boutique where functional design and fine art intersect.

Her work has been exhibited in galleries, markets, and juried exhibitions throughout California and the greater Bay Area, and she is committed to making art that is accessible, meaningful, and deeply connected to community and environmental education.

Sustainable living refers to a lifestyle that aims to reduce one's environmental impact by making conscious choices to minimize resource consumption, waste generation, and overall ecological footprint. It involves adopting practices that support the health of the planet, choosing reusable products instead off single use items, avoiding fast fashion by practicing responsible consumerism, and shopping locally from small sustainable businesses. Ultimately, sustainable living seeks to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
