Thoughts from the artist Thank you collectors. Works shown on my website are not exhaustive. I shy away from art galleries and don’t enter a lot of shows. Are you interested in a work? Have you seen a painting on my website but it's no longer there? I may still have it. Feel free to contact me.
Note: The only internet presences I am affiliated with and whose contents I am personally responsible for are beccamulenburg.com, beccamulenburg.blogspot.com and my etsy store.
