Becky Fixter
www.beckyfixter.com
Becky's large scale abstract works on canvas are heavily influenced by her educational background in psychology. Her lively and expressive pieces are an exploration of the human spirit. She interprets our individual and collective struggles for self discovery as we seek identity, meaning and affiliation.
Her method involves a gestural approach. Her bold, immediate brush strokes evoke a sense of deep narrative. Her spontaneous, intuitive style of work allows her to illuminate the inspiring and unpredictable nature of life and the world around her.
Becky has exhibited in many juried, solo and group shows. She has won juror's choice awards and awards of excellence. Her work has been featured on the Steven and Chris Show, Candice Tells All, Breakfast Television Toronto, Income Property and Leave it To Bryan as well as in Wedding Bells Magazine. She works in a home studio surrounded by nature.
