Currently I live in Vancouver BC in the Pacific Northwest, Marie Becker-Pos was born on Long Island, New York, moving upstate to attend Syracuse University. She has lived in Berkeley, San Francisco, studied drawing and painting in Rome, the Loire Valley and Toronto, but still treasures memories of Long Island, her Czech mother's medicinal gardens, the sand dunes, salt marshes with their wildlife and the soft grey light of winter days. She received her Diploma of Fine Arts from Langara College in Vancouver.
Combining her academic background in social-psychology with the hands-on, practical experience of art education provides her with an eye to interpret life in the global "village." Using oil or acrylic paints she produces paintings that reflect her dualistic background, with art that is often simultaneously soothing and unsettling, whimsical and menacing, humorous and cryptic.
