BEKI BORMAN
Beki Borman was born and raised in the Milwaukee area of Wisconsin. She attended the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design where she received her BFA in painting in 2004. Since graduating, Beki has exhibited both locally and nationally. Beki’s current paintings are done primarily with a palette knife. These “Chromascapes” focus on color relationships within the subject of landscape.
ARTIST STATMENT - For me the landscape is the most accessible subject of the natural world. In response to landscape compositions I layer thick and thin applications of acrylic paint using knives, rollers, rags, and brushes. My interest is not in recreating the scene but rather in learning from its aesthetic. I emphasize bright colors, areas of contrast, and patterns in mark making.
