About contemporary art: Intended as a reaction to preceding modern art movements, contemporary art is thought to have begun on the heels of Pop Art. In post-war Britain and America, Pop Art was pioneered by artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. It is defined by an interest in portraying mass culture and reimagining commercial products as accessible art.

Becky has adapted this art form in a way that is both joyful and fun!

TEACHER

“I have been creating art since I was a child. By the time I was in high school, I knew I wanted to be an artist.”

Becky Phelps attended MTSU and received my BFA in 1999. As a lifelong learner, she returned to MTSU to earn a Bachelor of Science in Art Education in 2013. It has been Becky’s passion to teach Art Education and an honor to have served as a middle school and now high school art teacher.

As a professional artist, Becky’s mission is to reach people. She wants her artwork to send a message of hope, strength and courage to those who need it. Becky also wants her artwork to speak of joy, peace and a little spray paint and a lot of sharpies!

Be sure to follow her on Instagram!

We are very to have Becky Phelp’s unique brand of art as part of our offerings at Arts in the Burg.
