Becca Seifert – Solo Exhibition

July 12 - July 22

BSsm

Join us for an exhibition of brand new works by Colorado native, Becca Seifert! Ever-inspired by the landscapes of the west, Becca’s work, found in mediums from pen and ink, to watercolor, to oil, invite the viewer into her own personal artistic lens, with a pleasantly harmonious focus on line and geometric shapes making up the views that surround us day in and day out.

“My paintings represent places where the wilderness takes over, where land and sky overpower civilization. As the air gets thinner everything gets simpler – I climb higher, the view takes over, leaving the forest and obstacles below. 

The commitment to reach the mountain peak parallels with the commitment to finish a painting. I start by walking a path that many have surveyed before, study the history, past stories and topography so that when I venture out I have a general sense of direction. The environment often overpowers my agenda, which is when the real adventure starts. I am transported to a dimension of being extraordinarily present, absorbed and inundated by an environment that is larger than life. There is no emergency brake, rewind button or do-overs along the journey, just lessons I put in my pocket to refer to as I create my own story.

Growing up at 8,000 feet has shaped who I am as a person – watching cloud and weather patterns with my dad or getting locked outside in the summer with my sisters – I am lucky to call the mountains home. My paintings serve as a reminder to look up, appreciate your surroundings, and enjoy subtle moments that make you feel present.”
