A LOVE SONG TO YOUR WILD HEART
An exploration of the intersection between humans and nature, my art captures those moments in the wild… when you feel truly alive.
The moment when you see magic in the dark eyes of an owl.
The moment when you see a glimpse of hope in a breathtaking landscape.
Or the moment when you realize that nature lives and breathes in us and is always with us.
FINDING MAGIC IN THE JOURNEY
Through years of feeling lost and disconnected, I slowly began to embrace the title “artist”.
From managing coffee shops, teaching yoga, getting a degree in nutrition, and moving across the country, I let art sit on the backburner, believing the lie that art could never be a career.
And yet… there was always an ache of discontent simmering beneath the surface. A longing for something more.
Luckily, in those coffee shop days, one of my dear friends introduced me to the “Artist’s Way” which began to shift my deeply held beliefs about myself and art. With the encouragement of my partner, I made art a consistent practice. Showing up to the easel as much as possible. I had to work my way through a lot of bad, frustrating paintings to find the good ones.
This evolution is a potent reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out to start. There is magic in the process, in the journey.
I’M BEKAH
Oregon-based painter. Nature lover. Photographer.
Just like you, I love spending time outside! My creative journey flows from the field into the studio. Prior to starting a new collection, I spend intentional moments in nature, collecting wildlife and landscape references.
Armed with inspiration from the most magical places, I return to the studio which is nestled under a wise, old cedar tree and begin the process of mapping out my work.
Each piece is made up of thousands (sometimes hundreds of thousands) of tiny brushstrokes. Living, breathing animals slowly emerge from abstract swaths of color.
Depending on the size and complexity, this process can take anywhere from one day to months of work, meticulously capturing the magic of the wild so that I can share it with you!
ART FOR THE UNTAMED SOUL
Bring nature into your sacred spaces.
Instead of feeling trapped by your four walls, make your home align with your heart.
Full of peace and wonder.
MEET THE ARTIST
Art feels so different in person. You can see each brush mark and little bit of texture.
