About the Artist
Meet Becky Potter:
Artist, winemaker, and devoted to the art of romancing the everyday.
Artist Statement
I believe beauty matters.
In a world that often moves too quickly, I paint as an invitation to slow down—to notice the flowers gathered in a vase, a bumble bee resting on a flower petal, and the joy found in an ordinary day.
As both an artist and a winemaker living in Oregon's Dundee Hills, I spend much of my life immersed in creation. The changing seasons, the abundance of the garden, and the quiet rhythms of vineyard life continually inspire my work. Through bold florals and richly layered abstracts, I seek to capture not only what I see, but what I feel: gratitude, wonder, hope, and the deep comfort of beauty.
My paintings are created through layers of texture, color, and often touches of gold or copper leaf, reflecting the richness and complexity found in both nature and life itself. Each piece is painted slowly and intentionally, allowing the work to evolve organically.
My faith also shapes everything I create. I believe that all beauty originates with the Creator, and my work is, in many ways, a response of gratitude—a celebration of the goodness and abundance woven throughout creation.
Ultimately, my hope is that my paintings bring joy, peace, and a sense of wonder into the spaces they inhabit. I want them to remind us that there is beauty to be found in the everyday and to encourage us all to romance the day-to-day.
