Biography
Becca David was born in rural Pennsylvania and currently resides in Southside Minneapolis. She began her formal education at Edinboro University of PA and completed a BA in Art and BS in Business Administration at Waynesburg University in Pennsylvania. She is a Certified Master Naturalist and holds a certificate in Mental Health First Aid.
She is a firm supporter of the ADA, STEAM initiatives (Science Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) and the belief that ALL children deserve the opportunity to bring their creative voice forward no matter what race, culture, creed, ability or financial status. Becca believes that art is a dialogue between the maker and viewer; when engaging with art the observer becomes a participant in the narrative, thus creating a shared safe space for dialogue. Becca is a member of ACW, NEMAA, and the Teaching Artists Guild. She plays percussion with Brass Solidarity, sings with the Capri Glee, volunteers for The Art Shoppe at the Midtown Global Market, and is the Inclusive Community Coordinator for Showing with the Saints for The Show Gallery.
Becca paints primarily in watercolor and acrylics using linear elements within her work to explore rhythmic patterns inspired by music and her environment. Her latest mixed media body of work incorporates discarded materials and elements of her past work and is a reflection of the times and environment we live in.
