Welcome to the Icons + Legends series. Each month I will highlight a different artist and share what I find fascinating about their work and life. This month in the spotlight is London based painter, Haidee Becker.

Haidee Becker (born 1950) is an American–born painter based in London, known for her oil paintings of still-life, portraits and florals. As you listen to each interview, and also as you study her work, I hope you are impacted by the rootedness of her day to day practice and life. I was drawn the focus of her life as an artist, forever student and mother/grandmother. I found beauty in her words, home, lifestyle, art, friendships and family. 

Haidee is the perfect beginning of this series as we all are on a journey to create a beautiful life with our people, and I believe she has.
