New Artist - 2016__

computer to create it for me.

Instead, I use it as a tool that

allows me to create the image

in a clean, graphic style.

“I draw everything from

scratch, I create the hundreds

of shapes (paths) and then layer

them one on top of the other

which forms the picture. So it

really is a work of art and the

computer is the tool that allows

me to do it.

“Technically there is no

original as it is created as a

digital file. I do, however, treat

each picture as an original piece

of artwork, rather than seeing it

as a digital one.”

For new artists, Becky has

some digital advice: “Embrace

social media. Network and put

yourself out there on Facebook,

Twitter, Instagram, etc – no

one will see what you are doing

unless you show them, nothing

will happen or come to you

unless you put yourself and your

work out there in front of people.

And for those who are

exploring their creative style:

“Be true to yourself. To start

with, experiment with different

styles and things that you like,

it is a journey and each stage is

wonderful and will lead on to

something else. It will constantly

change, so go with it. Be positive,

believe in yourself and where you

want to go. Don‘t hold yourself

back – dream big!”

Becky‘s fresh, vintage

posters invite us to

daydream of idyllic

seaside villages and

beaches, a time before

the rush and gadgets

of the modern world...
