Hello, I'm Monica Becker.

Monica was born in upstate New York. Her mother​,​ a homemaker​,​ and her father​,​ a thriving commercial painter was a talented pencil artist. During her early years​,​ she attended art and drama classes​,​ which helped to spark her robust artistic nature. Dabbling in pottery and jewelry design​,​ she was consistently thrilled when creating something new. Although​,​ it wasn’t until later in life that her interest in the fine arts soared. After moving to Northern California and raising three children​,​ she took on a position working for a renowned publisher​,​ coordinating the print production of museum collections around the world. She describes it as very fascinating to view speculator artworks up close​,​ created in many different mediums​,​ even having the opportunity to hold originals by well known artists​,​ to explore the accomplished talents of some of the true masters that many have become to admire. Today​,​ you can find her at home​,​ paintbrush in hand​,​ classical music streaming in the background. Currently using acrylic and a paste medium she paints with emotion; organically creating each image by letting the brush strokes delicately emerge as abstract realism​,​ not to evoke a notion but to cite a lasting and subjective experience. She is passionate about her surroundings​,​ the flora of mother-nature​,​ and the ever changing landscape. As well as how climate change can affect the beauty of it all​,​ that so many fail to see in the world around us.
