Bio

Los Angeles native Beckett Sky creates vibrant abstract large scale oil paintings and heritage textile works from an intuitive natural rhythm. Currently based in the Middle East and Europe, she is a classically trained painter and former dancer and Gyrotonic trainer. Her physical, process-based practice is a spiritual exercise that helps her connect deeply with the greater internal life force behind forms. The acts of painting, embroidery, textile work and soft sculpture provide Sky a space to dialogue with these intuitive rhythms and the eternal presence of the moment. This fulfills a profound longing to connect to ancient ancestors who have practiced these traditions.

Sky’s involvement in art conservation and cultural preservation also connects her to the human continuum of craft and technique, vital to her practice.

Sky’s work has has exhibited in New York, Italy and in the South of France, and she has taught throughout the United States, in Montreal, Canada, The Caribbean and Italy. She is the recipient of a Rome Arts Residency fellowship.
