” It's the vitality of growth and decay within each structure and the energies inherent in these processes that I try to embrace in my work…I paint layer upon layer with harsh movement, jagged edges, and bold colors; it’s like geological strata with cracks and discordance.But each layer however furvious, is always infected and colored by the underlying one.” – part of Michelle Beck’s Artist Statement
