From earliest years, Becky’s artwork has revealed her deep fascination with the organic movement and individual personalities that characterize all living things. Her recent work includes numerous large oil paintings of kelp and tidepools, but she also is building a body of work featuring the local Nevada landscapes, flora and fauna that have won her heart. Her deepest desire is to help people see how beautiful the every-day natural world truly is. Her work is characterized by strong abstract compositions and a high level of textural detail.

Bull kelp that has been rained on is beginning to rot on an Oregon beach. The crinkles vibrate in the moist air.
