Becky Samuelson SWA HS

Becky lives in St Helens on the Isle of Wight where she has been painting professionally for over twenty years specializing in marine, landscape and architectural subjects within the mediums of watercolour, acrylic and pastel. Her inspiration is drawn from the beautiful Island countryside and coastline which boasts a huge diversity with great natural light, as well as her painting trips abroad.  She loves the use of colour and the effects of light on a subject, with texture recently playing a greater aspect in her work, particularly in her acrylics.
Much time is spent sketching with her preferred method of pen and wash, mainly due to its immediacy and ability to achieve an impressionistic style.

Becky is a member of The Society of Women Artists and The Hilliard Society of Miniaturists. She has exhibited widely both on and off the Isle of Wight, and has work in print with several companies.
She has been a contributor to The Leisure Painter Magazine for a number of years and is a Professional Associate of “Paint” Magazine.
Becky has taught in adult education since 1994, running courses and workshops and has tutored on painting holidays for the last three years in Somerset and Austria with an Isle of Wight holiday planned for 2010
Becky enjoys working to commission and the personal contact it brings with the client. Subjects are wide-ranging from beach and landscape views to house and boat portraits.
