Becky was born on the Jersey shore and wound up migrating to Maryland to study and work in the marine sciences field. She both works and plays at the intersection of art and science, and believes that applying skills from one field to the other creates progressive and magical results!Becky has been a lifelong artist and crafter across a variety of mediums and has dove deeply into the world of clay over the past eight years. She creates functional, often nature inspired art through wheel throwing and sculpting and particularly loves raku techniques. Additionally, she is an avid theater person and currently performs with an improv comedy troupe.Becky's teaching experience ranges from leading sip and paint classes, to mentoring scientific graduate research fellows, to community outdoor environmental education programming, to teaching improv comedy classes.

Vision: To create a vibrant, nationally recognized arts destination in Southern Anne Arundel County, Maryland, where everyone can experience the life changing impact of creative expression.

Arts Lab of South County operates as a workspace where artists can create their own work and share the experience with others. Arts Lab provides dynamic interactions with the arts through our community of visual artists, open studio tours, and programs. Through our artist members and guest artists, we offer art up close, in person, and in progress. Artists work in oil paint, watercolor, acrylic, pastel, pencils, glass, ceramic, metal/jewelry, fiber arts, stone, plastic and more. We aim to create value for Southern Anne Arundel County residents through classes, lectures, and other community events.

Arts Lab of South County is supported in part by the Arts Council of Anne Arundel County, Maryland State Arts Council, Chesapeake Crossroads Heritage Area, The Cynipid Project, Dippel & Co., and Herrington Harbour North.
