Beki Killorin, received most of her
training in art in her home state of Oklahoma. Twenty-five years of
artistic growth through the mediums of oil, ink, acrylics, collage
and watercolor led her to take a major step into printmaking in 1982.
The technical challenge of this medium, combined with her already
well-defined skill as a professional artist, provided a positive avenue
for printmaking as a full time career. Beki's original prints have
been represented by Island
International Artists since 1982.
In 1987 Beki and her husband relocated to the Pacific Northwest and
from her studio in Washington's Northern Puget Sound, she has been
able to devote full time to the development of her etchings and also
further refine her skills in her beloved medium, watercolor.
Stepping into the new century added yet another dimension to her portfolio.
With the technical advancements of computers came a process of printing
known as giclee. This process generates a print that is technically
superior to most other types of reproductions. Archival treated pigmented
inks and fine art rag watercolor paper are used to produce these prints.
With some hand embellishment on each one, this process has enabled
Beki to expand the horizon of her watercolor imagery into the national
marketplace.
Beki's style provides a contemporary look to familiar subjects that
brings a unique life and spirit to each piece she produces. Each work
of art receives her special imprint... a small red dot that precedes
her signature. It is an acknowledgment and affirmation of the wonder
of God's creation and His ever-present and lasting love for all.
"This is my language, the journal of my life in every brushstroke." |
| "The
willingness to explore the soul of my subject with artistic
creativity, emotion, design and color and then to be able
to translate that language in a unique way to you is for me,
a continuously creative and exciting story that I can tell
with my brush." |
