    Becky West has been creating art since childhood\u2014sometimes with memorable results. One early decoupage project permanently attached newspaper to the family kitchen table, beginning a long tradition of artistic exploration at home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Encouraged by her mother Muriel, an artist herself, Becky learned early to truly see<\/em> the world around her. She remembers the moment it clicked: while drawing a house with a strip of grass and a strip of sky, her mother pointed out that the sky actually meets the ground at the horizon. \u201cThat was the moment the light went on,\u201d Becky says. \u201cI began to see like an artist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Today Becky works in several media but returns again and again to drawing and oil painting. Her realistic pencil drawings are so detailed that viewers sometimes mistake them for photographs\u2014some taking more than a hundred hours to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Becky\u2019s goal has always been simple: to add a little beauty to her corner of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    She and her husband Tim live in Mankato in the summer and Lake Wales in the winter and enjoy time with their two sons and ten grandchildren. Becky is available for commission work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
