After a successful career in banking and as an owner of a graphics
business, Becky has achieved her goal of creating fine art
professionally. This Texas Hill Country transplant from Kansas
feels she is at her best when she is creating. Becky’s paintings
are inspired by the Texas Hill Country in all its splendor.
Pastures brimming with bluebonnets, pink primroses in the morning
mist, longhorns in serene pastures and sunlit cypress trees along
the Guadalupe River are many exceptional aspects of the state’s
natural beauty that she captures on her canvas.
As an award winning artist, Becky's paintings are
much sought after and her paintings grace the walls of collectors
nationally and internationally. In 2005, the Boerne ISD presented a
delegation of students and teachers from Shanghai International
Studies University Bilingual School, Becky's limited edition giclee
print, "Bluebonnet Road, A Hill Country Setting" as a remembrance of
their visit to Boerne.
Becky's work has appeared in various magazines and
publications:
SouthWest Art Magazine, Western Art Collector
Magazine, Country Lifestyle Magazine, TravelHost, San Antonio
Monthly, Boerne Star and Austin Monthly.
She has and continues to study under the direction of
the "best of the best" artists in America today. Becky exhibits her
work professionally through invitational and juried shows,
galleries, and museum exhibits. She is a member of the Boerne
Professional Artists (BPA) which she currently serves
as Secretary, American Society of Bovine Artists, and the Hill
Country Council for the Arts (HCCA). Her home studio is in
the Boerne and Comfort area of the beautiful Texas Hill Country.
