I always knew my dream job was to do something in the arts. The joy that it brings to the public and the artists was always inspiring.

We live in a fast pace world and it’s easy to overlook everyday scenarios, people, places and things. Every so often I pause to look at an object, or scenery and admire how the light and composition play off each other. I step out of my busy mind, to ponder over what I’m looking at before I slip back into whatever I was doing before.

It is rare that I have something specific in mind when I begin a piece. I listen to music when I create a painting and let it take me places and the piece evolves at will. I tend to use watercolor straight out of the tube and let the colors mix and blend together by themselves. I have been inspired by so many artist but Pablo Picasso is my favorite.

I will keep trying to rediscover that right-brained freedom of my youth that is such a prerequisite to becoming a true artist. In the meantime, I can only hope to stay healthy and busy and now and then produce something that someone enjoys.

When my husband’s watercolors began to pile up, I decided to start framing them myself, and I began by framing my family. Now, I am framing works created BY my family, and I could not be happier. When you do things together, it’s the best!

After we installed her show, I asked her some questions. Becca, a retired high school Social Studies teacher, paints lively images in oil and acrylic. She loved art as a child and returned to it when she retired. At first she thought she would do mostly crafts and collected a lot of buttons and metal shapes and pieces, and other items.

However, I have been a storyteller all my life, publishing more than twenty-five works of science fiction, fantasy, and children’s literature, so I aspire to create art that tells stories as well. My art is figurative and representational, and at this time I work primarily in pastel, colored pencil, graphite, and charcoal.

With one grandfather a coalminer and one a professor, she was born of the hills of eastern Kentucky and grew up with a love of the mountains and the trees, the streams and the animals. A sense of their magic and mystery, their humanity, breathe through her art, fantastic and real alike.

My daddy’s art consisted of drawing house plans on a napkin, and then built the house from that plan. Today, that’s not allowed but back in the 1950’s it was fine. Since he was a carpenter, I used his scrap pieces of lumber to paint on. I didn’t know that it was called “plein air painting” at the time, but I would go outside and sit and paint whatever I saw. I loved smelling the sawdust from his lumber while I painted.

Her creative medium of choice is fabric and textiles. After retirement, I joined PAPA with my husband, Charles whose medium of choice is oil paint. (You can find some of his work in the gallery, too.) I never would have guessed this group of painters would have such an influence on my quilting! I confess to being a scrappy quilter and I really enjoy incorporating fabric with a little history such as my grandmother’s sewing scraps. I also am very conscious of the importance of recycling and reusing and it’s pretty common to find fabrics from old clothing in my quilts.
