Monica Becker

 Painter      Sonoma County   

 RiverFront Gallery   

Monica was born in upstate New York, the third of four children, to young European immigrants. Her mother, a homemaker loved music, her father a thriving commercial painter, was a talented pencil artist of his own right.

​

In her early years she attended art and drama classes, that helped to spark her constructive side. Dabbling in pottery, and jewelry design––she was always thrilled to create something new.

​

It wasn’t until later in life, when her interest in the art world soared, after moving to Northern California and raising three rambunctious boys; she took on a position working for a renowned publisher; coordinating the print production for museum collections around the world. It was fascinating for her, to view vast artworks––created in many mediums; she even had the chance to hold originals––and view them up close, to explore the accomplished talents of the true masters we all know and admire in the art world.

​

Today you can find her at home, paint brush in hand, classical music streaming in the background. Currently using acrylic and a paste medium; she paints with purpose, to evoke a feeling or idea in the viewer. “I want them to see something familiar and extraordinary, to spark interest, to look up close, and envision a place, or memory, or even a dream once forgotten.”

 

(Most of Monica's frames are handcrafted with sustainable accoya, some are fire charred by using an ancient Japanese method of preservation called Shou Sugi Ban.)
