Becky’s interest in painting
and drawing began as a child and those early seeds of joy were nurtured in the
museums of Europe during her early adult years. Although she pursued an education and career in the computer
industry for two decades, she continued her
art interests with classes and occasional exhibits. In 1990 she retired from the computer field and has devoted
herself exclusively to her lifetime’s passion for painting and drawing. The focus of her art training and
studies has been in the representational traditional style with an emphasis on
life drawing and painting, portraiture, still life and landscape.
An important period of study was with the Lyme Academy of Fine Art in Old
Lyme, Connecticut and the Mystic Art Association in Mystic, Connecticut.
She has taken numerous workshops throughout the U.S. with a variety of
nationally known artists developing her skills and experience. In 2001 she was commissioned by
the Pensacola Junior College Foundation to paint a portrait of Anna Lamar
Switzer that hangs in the College’s Hall of Honor. She has also taught drawing and painting both privately and
in groups at a seminar at the University of West Florida.
ARTIST STATEMENT “The passion for painting and the
artistic creative process is truly a joy; it is my desire to express this
deeply felt experience through the medium of paint. I feel that every day the pleasure
and thrill of this marvelous
experience is renewed.”
