Announcing Nancy's Holiday Show!


The opening reception for Nancy's Holiday show, Landescapes: Paintings of California's Central Coast by Nancy Becker, will be held Friday, November 26, from 4:00 to 6:00pm at RE/MAX Parkside,717 12th Street in Paso Robles.

The show will feature her iconic representations of the delicate beauty inherent in American nature and the simple structures that dot its landscape. Join us for the opening reception over the Holiday. If you can't make it then, not to worry, the show will run through December 31st!

Here's a sneak peak of what you can expect to see from Nancy...

Working in the plein air style, Nancy Becker focuses on the inherent beauty of untouched and lightly treaded scenes. Many of her images depict natural, breathtaking scenes in their own pristine state. Becker’s work is so unique that even the simple, textual nature of his brushwork creates emotion and drama.

Nancy was raised in Pasadena, California and, as a child, absorbed the beauty of the rolling landscapes and meandering coulees while horseback riding through the Los Angeles National Forest. She believes it was these sacred times away from urban life that helped her to learn to plaint natural scenes in true harmony with the land. Becker’s passion for the natural environment around her shines through her canvases in a way that cannot be gleaned from any book. It is obvious in her painting that the artist slowly absorbed the delicate, yet awe-inspiring, landscapes of California’s Central Coast, and that the impact has never lessened. This intimate connection to nature makes the work of Nancy Becker both breathtaking and inspirational.
