Baker Artist Portfolios

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, weaving 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 permanent works for DC Public Schools, Huntington, WV, the City of Asheville, North Carolina, and Silver Spring, MD. She is currently working on her largest commission to date, an outdoor sculpture for a park in Hillsboro, OR.
