Biography
Becky is a native of Georgia and has been painting for over
25 years. Initially self taught, she was encouraged to pick up
a brush by her high school and college art instructors. After
a successful career in business, she returned to her first
love, and studied with international artist and instructor
Philomena O’Quinn Edwards.
Becky’s favorite subjects are those of natural beauty,
landscapes, and animals. She loves the depth of color oil
painting allows but often chooses acrylic for its versatility.
Becky has developed a layering and reverse painting
technique that she uses on glass to evoke a Folk Art feel to
those pieces.
In 2007, Becky began entering juried shows at the
Grandview Gallery in Atlanta, Georgia where she was
accepted and has been exhibited. She exhibits in other
Atlanta metropolitan locations including the Cobb Museum of
Art in Marietta, Plum Tree Salon in Roswell, Daily Grind
Coffee Shop and Café in Marietta, Basils restaurant in
Buckhead and the Ivy Garden Antiques and Gifts in Holly
Springs. Her Fantasy Collection can be seen and purchased
from Pat-a-Cakes Bakery in Columbus, Georgia. Her work is
held in private collections; she accepts commissions and has
pieces for purchase.
