Veronica Lynn Becerra Rivera was born on a snowy evening back in December 1997. Rooted in the small town of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, she discovered her artistic passion and nurtured a profound bond with nature. From the age of ten, Vero Lynn showcased her creations in galleries across Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey, tracing her artistic lineage through three generations of Philadelphian artists.
Today, Veronica stands as a contemporary artist, weaving masterpieces in pyrography, graphite, acrylic, and oil paints. Her art is an eloquent testimony to shifting perspectives, confronting societal injustices, and rekindling the human spirit. Drawing inspiration from the intricacies of nature, human anatomy, spirituality, fantasy, mythology, religion, and healing, Veronica's portfolio is a celebration of nature, soul encapsulation, movement, balance, and the transformative nature of healing through creation.
"My art echoes nature's rhythm, the soul's essence, and the alchemy of healing and balance."
Veronica recognizes that it is so easy to get caught up in the hustle of daily routines, to the extent that people forget to nourish their souls. Merely being alive doesn't mean that we are truly living. Especially in a culture that has grown too comfortable neglecting self-prioritization, healing, and peace of mind. The tendencies to overlook generational traumas, conform to sameness, and mask our true selves instead of living authentically are so prevalent today, to the point where it has become mandatory to function by burying pain deep within.
In her artistic pursuits, Vero Lynn's objective extends beyond creation; she aims to enhance, heal, and recenter the human spirit.
In her work, Vero Lynn strives to bring to light spiritual imbalances, internal struggles, and societal injustices. She hopes that through her creations, more individuals will find the inspiration to heal, grow, and embrace their true selves, fostering freedom and acceptance through their unique differences.
Veronica Lynn Becerra, a first-generation college student of Hispanic heritage, carved her academic path at Cheyney University of Pennsylvania. As the president of the Fine Arts Honor Society, she collaborated with artist and community leader Marietta Dantonio Madsen, contributing to transformative community healing arts projects. This pivotal experience revealed the profound impact of art in aiding others to overcome trauma and discover inner peace.
Furthering her educational pursuits at Edinboro University, Veronica focused her learning on both art therapy and counseling. With a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, she remains unwavering in her commitment to art as a potent force for mental health.
For Veronica, art is not merely an expression; it is a profound instrument of healing, a catalyst for transformation, guiding individuals toward authenticity, freedom, and self-discovery.
