Profile Type: artist
While traveling the world as a fashion/runway model with some of the world’s top modeling agencies, S Beck found her world consumed by an intense level of fashion, music and the arts. This would quickly become the catalyst to influence the inspiration to her own unique style and future works of art. After the high-paced world of fashion, she decided to settle down and live a much slower paced life in Music City, aka Nashville, TN. Together, her and her husband, an award-winning producer/writer and artist in music, both seemed to connect over their mutual love for culture and the creative arts. While he was in the music recording studio, aka - the lab creating music, S Beck would then channel that creative energy into her own interpretation of visual artistry. Her preference; completely open to a blank canvas with no preconceived outcome or predestined idea, allowing the sound and emotion of the moment to flow through her, both intuitively and expressively. She feels this is the best way to convey the raw expression and essence of who she is. With only a palette knife, she meticulously begins to create layer upon layer of vivid detail, depth, colors and texture producing her very own, one of a kind, custom symphony. In a way very similar to writing a song or a music composition, yet often too deep to describe by words or a melody. Art, like music, is a form of communication not limited to the restrictive use of a specific sound or language. It can easily cut straight to the heart of the observer through their own interpretation. If her palette knife screams at the canvas and you feel her whisper, then she believes as if she has been successful. Outside of her own life encounters and experiences, S Beck is also greatly influenced and inspired by the structures, landforms, plains, plateaus and textured minerals found right within her Nashville environment. Each of her works display a bare canvas that is predominantly covered in acrylics, oils and other forms of media, such as; ink, graphite, plaster, spray paint, glass, foils, rocks, sand and earth— aka TN dirt. Her interpretive works produce not only vivid detail, but also showcase her overarching thought of contemplating the truth found in each of life’s moments we are presented with. This tends to end with an obsessive circle of research into what so often seems to be hidden just beneath the surface. The intrusions in life can sometimes hinder or even help us to pursue exploring our own curiosity even further and if willing, lead to a place of possible wonder and awe in the discoveries found. Always attempting to lure the viewer as they look beyond the obvious and find simple complexities hidden within layers, bold colors, patterns and rhythmic movements. She hopes that each piece of work is a visual experience evoking a feeling of transport or for some, a distraction from the reality of normal life. Her works have been collected by famous musicians, actors, recording studios, restaurants, stores, luxury boutique hotels, super-luxury automobile showrooms and private collectors worldwide (Europe, N. America, Asia & The West Indies). They have been described as “Shockingly gorgeous”, “Breathtaking detail”, “Nashville’s newest trend!”, “The go to Artist. Just overwhelmingly stunning!”, “It’s like 3D paint, jumping off the canvas. It exuberates beauty!”, and “So much detail. So many layers. Simply divine, yet nothing simple about it!” A self proclaimed workaholic, addicted to her craft and always envisioning the creation of her next greatest work. When not in her art studio, S Beck can be found at home in the rolling hills of mid-TN with her husband, children and European Doberman-Pinscher.
