Meet the Artist

Beck was born and raised on the edge of Philadelphia and as the youngest of three kids, turned to her adventure people action figures to escape. She and her little people spent hours together in her magical backyard with a creek and great oaks as the backdrop for fun summer adventures. At 50, Beck was gifted a few sets of her old toys from her folks and the adventures began anew. These childhood toys still keep this old lady young;  she still sees the world in a playful way. You can find her collection on instagram @mslshutterbug 

Professional Life

Although she's an English teacher by trade, Beck was asked to teach an elective at a charter school in Florida - she chose digital photography.  After enrolling in a few classes and earning a certificate in fine arts, the rest, as they say, is history.
