Becky Fos - Ambassador of Color

Becky Fos is an unexpected presence in a room. Despite her small stature, she exudes an energy and aura that is as evident in her personality as it is in her artwork. Becky Fos injects life and color into a room, whether via her own presence or that of one of her paintings.

Fos’ artwork features bold, unapologetically bright colors and thick, defined textures, invoking movement and cheerfulness. She imagines a more beautiful world, magnifying the beauty that surrounds her. Her medium is oil on canvas, an ancient method, but rather than a traditional paintbrush, Fos uses a palette knife to produce the rich, distinctive, and highly textured works that have become her signature style.

Through her art, Becky Fos celebrates New Orleans and the wildlife that inhabits the nearby swamps and bayous. She uses her palette knife to depict New Orleans’ street musicians, historical figures, prominent architecture, and the beauty that envelops her.

Her canvases depict radiant, deep-hued oysters in a rainbow of colors too beautiful to eat, and her pelicans and alligators are adorned with crowns, celebrating their iconic status. These hallmarks capture the imaginations of collectors around the world.

Fos herself embodies—and her artwork mirrors— the profound joie de vivre that defines New Orleans. “When people see my art I hope that they experience joy and escape the reality of what they are going through and enter a technicolor world filled with all things happy,” she explains. “Sort of like in The Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy clicks her heels and is transported into the land of Oz. There is so much sadness and hatred in the world, so I would love to be an ambassador of color for humanity to make the world a brighter, happier place.”
