Collection: BB Labs | Becky Borlan

" Drawing from a variety of artistic references like stained glass, color theory, and geometric abstractionism, my artworks posit that play has the power to tap into joy that transforms our own lives and others. " -Becky Borlan

Baltimore-based, Becky Borlan is a public artist who produces large-scale works that utilize light and color to spark reverence and wonder. Her installations are playful, vibrant, and whimsical. Applying the curiosity of a child to question everything, she dabbles with lots of different materials, she paints with the very expressive parts of color theory, and loops, bobs, weaves together forms to unite them
into a concise and clear invitation to explore without judgment. 

Becky has been working in public art since 2009, first as studio manager for artist Janet Echelman, creating city-scaled public art installations, then as a project manager for DC based artist Steven Weitzman, integrating aesthetic enhancements into transportation infrastructure. These foundational experiences encouraged her to pursue public art, particularly large-scale sculpture and suspended works.
She has created works for DC Public Schools, the Baltimore Office of Promotion and Arts, and the City of Asheville, North Carolina.
