Becka Davis-Goetzinger believes that art is a fulfilling journey that can last a lifetime. She is passionate about her career in art, spending time in her studio creating art and sharing her knowledge by teaching classes and workshops.
Working with various mediums allows BDG to find the perfect material for each inspiration. Her favorite medium to work with is alcohol-based markers and inks. BDG draws inspiration from a variety of sources including people, cultures, folk tales, myths, and more.
Curating a mini art show in a small cafe was one of BDG's biggest achievements. This experience helped her realize that she wanted a life filled with creativity. To her, a rewarding journey is a lifetime of art. Whether creating art in her studio or sharing her love of art with others, Becka Davis-Goetzinger is committed to a life of creativity.
