Enid Smith Becker
About
I live and work in the Seattle area. Inspired by the complex dynamic between humans and the surrounding world, my paintings remind us of the powerful capacity of nature’s beauty to transform the self. I present a fluid, multifaceted experience that mirrors our own interactions with place and time. The layering of multiple perspectives invites the viewer to see the world through shifting lenses of time, scale, and space. Painted in acrylic on canvas, the work is often heavily textured in places, with layers of acrylic paint, fabric, natural materials, and paper. I studied art at the University of Washington and teach art in the area. My work is in numerous collections around the US and abroad. Enid is represented by the Seattle Art Museum Sales Gallery.

3 questions on inspiration with
Enid Smith Becker
We're asking artists to choose one notable person, place and object that has inspired them in their journey so far. We're mapping inspiration at a scale never attempted before
Person
My father, Charles Smith was a sculptor and designer. Growing up seeing him work was inspirational
Place
Growing up, I spent hours out of doors- mostly in the Pacific Northwest. This meant exploring the woods behind my house, hiking, skiing, kayaking and swimming. Nature has always spoken to me on a deep level. As a child I learned the names of the native plants in the area. As an adult I love the solace I find in the out-of-doors and work to create a visual experience that will carry this feeling to the viewer.
Object
Maybe my brushes and palette knife- good tools are essential to being able to create.
