Becker, Elizabeth
Elizabeth Becker works primarily in watercolor. She is drawn to the spontaneity and immediacy of this medium which has taught her to be present in the moment, relinquish control and embrace imperfections. Her paintings are an exploration of emotion, the human condition and her spiritual connection to nature. Emotional release and expressive experimentation with water are important to her process.
She works intuitively, allowing colors to bleed together and slowly bloom. Through evolving layers and abstractions, she hopes to capture the elusive, transcendent essence of her subjects. She believes the use of abstraction gets us beyond appearances and closer to the way things truly are.
