Artistic Philosophy & Inspiration

Nancy Becker is a landscape painter whose use of color, texture and light captures the tranquility and mysteriousness of California’s sacred spaces of nature and the animals that inhabit them. Her tonal paintings of the Central Coast’s ranches, vineyards, and rolling hills create a mood that is mystifying and compelling, and dreamlike in its softness. These rural landscapes are subtle yet powerful, evoking strong emotions in those who experience their silent wonder. It is the expression of her own emotion through her art that lends her work the ability to take its viewers into the very midst of nature’s intimate venues. To view Nancy Becker’s paintings is to spend a quiet moment in a serene locale, where life’s rough edges are somehow absorbed.

Nancy enjoys the process of painting – the approach to the subject and the gradual building of layers on the canvas – and the evolution of a piece from a concept to a successful portrayal of atmosphere and mood. Nancy reveres the way in which incorporates her ardor for self-expression, sharing, connecting, loving, caring, and bringing beauty to others in her own, unique way. She delights in the elusive, phantom-like nature of art that challenges her to continue her journey through painting. She treasures this devotion to art as it has motivated a life that seeks after beauty and allows her to make a career of that which she loves.
