Elizabeth Becker is an artist based in Burnsville, NC. She studied fine art at Pennsylvania College of Art & Design, University of the Arts, and Millersville University, where she earned her BSE in Art Education and BA in Psychology.
Elizabeth works primarily in watercolor. She is drawn to the spontaneity and immediacy of this medium, which has taught her to become 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 Elizabeth's process, as 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 closer to the way things truly are, not just how they appear.
