About Bec


Bec Winnel is a self taught artist and illustrator with formal training in Graphic Design through Swinburne in Melbourne, where she now lives. Her unique, delicate and soft portraits are dosed with sensuality and emotion, and created by blending layer upon layer of colour pencil, graphite and pastel. Her work has been described as reminiscent of vintage Victorian postcards and like melancholy souls staring out at you through disguised, beautiful faces.

Bec works full time as a graphic designer, illustrator and artist, and exhibits her work in group shows when she can. She is currently working towards her first solo show in March next year.

"Aw, JW, don't burn them! Keep them to look back at and see how much you grow with each piece. I guess, at least doing the drawing, even though burnt, gets your subconscious out on paper :) Thank you so very much for the lovely comment xo"

"Thank you SO very much for all the lovely comments and feedback. It seriously means a lot to me xo"
