Beki Killorin, received most of her training in
art in her home state of Oklahoma. Twenty-five years of artistic growth
through the mediums of oil, ink, acrylics, collage and watercolor led
her to take a major step into printmaking in 1983. The technical
challenge of this medium, combined with her already well-defined skill
as a professional artist, provided a positive avenue for printmaking as a
full time career. Beki's original prints have been represented by
Island International Artists since 1982.
In 1987 Beki and her husband relocated to the
Pacific Northwest and from her studio in Washington's Northern Puget
Sound, she has been able to devote full time to the developments of her
prints and further refine her skills in her beloved medium, watercolor.
Stepping into the new century added yet another
dimension to her portfolio. With the technical advancements of computers
came a process of printing known as Giclee. This process generates a
print that is technically superior to most other types of reproductions.
Archivally treated pigmented inks and fine art rag watercolor paper are
used to produce these prints. With some hand embellishment on each one,
this process has enabled Beki to expand the horizon of her watercolor
imagery into the national marketplace.
Beki's style provides a contemporary look to
familiar subjects that brings a unique life and spirit to each piece she
produces. Every work of art or print receives her special
imprint..............a small red dot that precedes her signature. It is
an acknowledgement and affirmation of the wonder of God's creation and
His ever-present and lasting love for all.
Today Beki's original watercolors, giclees and intaglio prints are represented by galleries both nationally and abroad
