Like so many of us,

Becs began her creative journey

at her mother's side.

The rigors of life as a police officer

left little time for her creative soul.

It was about 20 years ago,

while assigned to the swing-shift

and needing to unwind after hours,

that Becs returned to her art.

 

In 2001 Becs was diagnosed with Lupus,

she continued to work as a

Police Sergeant for as long as she was

physically able,

she retired in 2004.

Not one to let life get her down,

Becs spends her time traveling,

taking art classes,

and creating beautiful art.

She is a part-time college and Police Academy

instructor in the field of

Law Enforcement.

 

Becs describes herself as,

"Creative – Imaginative – Honest – Caring – Sarcastic

– Independent –Disorganized – Unwavering"

 

She sells her art online and locally,

but dreams of a opening

"a brick and mortar studio and tea house"

with her sister and friends,

"one day soon."

hugs, JOY, and Blessings,
