Rebecca “Sunshine” Littleton
Love is Infinite
Rebecca “Sunshine” Littleton is a Tacoma-based multidisciplinary artist, vocalist, and performer whose work brings light to the darkest corners of life. Her art transforms public spaces into places of connection, joy, and belonging, inviting people to feel seen, loved, and worthy.
This year’s Tacoma Light Trail features her installation Love is Infinite, a glowing reminder of hope and love nestled in Hilltop, designed to warm the cold winter streets. Known for her vibrant, interactive works like the Wish Garden, which encouraged visitors to share their hopes and dreams, and whimsical creations such as parade floats and glowing mechanical dragons, Sunshine’s art inspires wonder, play, and community engagement.
Finding her voice has been a deeply personal journey. Once hesitant to share her creativity, Sunshine now embraces opportunities to connect with others through her art, music, and performances. She incorporates her training as a vocalist to sing blessings and write original songs, blending sound and light to inspire a sense of belonging and joy.
Through her work, Sunshine celebrates love, resilience, and the simple yet profound power of human connection, reminding us all that even in challenging times, we are never alone.
One sign reads "YOU ARE LOVED" and a glow of rainbow colors pulsates across lighting this message. The other sign is a beautiful infinity mirror with a heart in the center - reminding us that love is infinite.
