BECCA GORDON

Hey there,

I’m Becca

I’m an independent artist, muralist & designer
living in Austin, TX.

—I’m also a true crime and murder mystery junkie,
poodle mom and guacamole enthusiast--
and I specialize in abstract painting,
large scale murals,
& fun // funky design.

My favorite place to be is in my studio,
painting and listening to podcasts ...
but relaxing near a body of water is a close second :)

Paintings

I’m not particularly outgoing; I’m not very loud. My paintings are in many ways everything I’m not.
My work is inspired by the desire to share thoughts, feelings and emotions.
As I paint I bring together small, individualistic elements that support the whole. I never know how long a painting will take to resolve – each piece goes through a journey, giving it a special story.

In my oil paintings and collage work, I combine fast layers of expressive brush strokes with carefully thought out graphic lines and geometric patterns that overlap, interact and play with organic abstractions. This brings together the past and the present—connecting past ideas from the Abstract Expressionist movement with more contemporary concepts of textile patterns and graphic design. My process involves numerous layers where I paint, tape, and then paint some more. Sometimes the process feels frantic, at other times I feel meditative and at ease. Ultimately, I’m seeking balance between controlled and spontaneous movements.
