Messy Beck is a painter, illustrator and muralist. Inspiration for her work began with her fascination with the complex and dynamic nature of women. Her oeuvre has since evolved into a series of narratives that explore themes of identity, mental health and human connection. The contrast between her inviting color palettes and uniquely contorted figures yield paintings that are constantly navigating a fine line between celebratory and disturbing. She currently lives in Montara, CA with her dog Maude.
