Becca May Collins

Biography

Becca May Collins studied at Plymouth University, before attending the Royal Drawing School and the Royal College of Art. Her work explores the development of sentimentality towards a site, concerned with highlighting the emotional relationships with home and place in an increasingly globalised world. She works with specific sites over a prolonged amount of time, drawing on-location to gain knowledge and understanding, before re-constructing these scenes from memory in the studio. Her images are warm and considerate, speaking a gentle narrative that reveals more about the landscape. Becca has work in public and private collections and is a New Contemporaries Artist for 2019.
