Becky was born in Penzance and grew up by the Merry Maidens stone circle, St Buryan.

She has a deeply rooted Cornish heritage, her father’s family were miners and her great grandmother worked for Stanhope Forbes, father of the Newlyn School of painting.

Becky studied graphic design at Cornwall College and Salisbury College of Art. After taking art classes with the inspirational Naomi Frears at Tate St Ives she rediscovered a love of painting and began exhibiting with Taking Space art group in 1994. Since then she has put on solo and mixed exhibitions, created numerous larger commissioned pieces and is attracting a growing audience with her unique colourful expression of the local surroundings.
