About

Beckie Anderson (Becca La) is an emerging visual artist whose works primarily in color pencils, acrylic markers, and acrylic on canvas or mixed media paper. Beckie creates pieces that emphasize bold color, intricate detail, layered textures. Although at the beginning of her professional art career, Beckie has dedicated significant time to developing a personal visual language that reflects personal experiences, cultural influences, and a love of storytelling through imagery. Beckie’s practice continues to evolve as she experiments with new techniques and mediums. With a growing presence in the Westchester and Brooklyn, NY art community, they aim to share her work with a wide audience while building connections through exhibitions, collaborations, and commissions, as well as a growing presence on social media.

Artist Statement

My work is an exploration of identity, culture, and heritage through the lens of my Afrocentric, Afro-Latin, and Puerto Rican roots. As a bi-racial artist, I create to honor the complexity of race and ethnicity in my life, embracing both the beauty and the struggle of belonging to multiple worlds. Each piece reflects my journey of discovery, reclaiming stories of resilience, rhythm, and ancestral pride. Through bold color, layered textures, and cultural symbolism, I aim to celebrate the richness of Afro-Latin and Puerto Rican traditions while also confronting questions of visibility and representation. My art is not only personal but communal, a way of connecting with others who share these intertwined identities, and a way of offering visibility to histories too often overlooked.
