About Becca Schlaff
I graduated from Michigan State University in May 2010 with a BFA in Art Education. Painting was my area of concentration. I am often asked how I got interested in this particular subject. A good friend of mine who is a fly fisherman knew I was an artist, so he told me to take a closer look at fish, and I have been hooked ever since.
I find the colors and patterns of fish scales to be so striking, and when combined with looking at them in their environments (like water rushing over their scales or the sun filtering through their fins) I discovered my love of the outdoors was in a way, paralleled with acknowledging the natural beauty of fish patterns. If I were a writer maybe I would be able to put into words the way I feel moved by the beauty of nature, but I’m a painter…so my medium of paint allows me to communicate visually my awe of the natural world.
Those who fly fish often find the imagery instantly recognizable but even people who do not fish find something spectacular in the work. This is what intrigues me and fuels my interest to paint fish as a subject.
