From a young age, Becky Smith has always had a passion for painting, all the way through to studying at Wimbledon College of Arts. Becky turned her passion into a career, pursuing a more practical ‘hands-on’ professional path by building a following in the world of contemporary galleries.
Becky draws on inspiration from her travels to exotic countries as she began to study wildlife art techniques, soon developing into her mystical bird of paradise works: dreamlike, vivid landscapes with echoes of the lucid jungle works of Henri Rousseau and Brett-Livingstone Strong. Becky found bringing these mesmerising, colourful scenes to life right in front of her became a satisfying therapeutic technique.
Becky’s recent works incorporate a palette of gold, copper and silver leaf. Inspired by artists through the ages, Becky taught herself how to apply and use these are time-honoured techniques.
