Thence by descent

Beckett constantly sought imagery and inspiration from her surroundings; be it through the afterglow of a bright sunset, the shimmering heat of a road or headlights shining through misty Melbourne rain. She fixated and excelled in depicting particular effects of nature, such as sun, haze, rain, mist and smoke, flawlessly capturing nature's shades of lavender, lilac and tonal greys.
