Inside the Artistic Process: The BDD Blog
Hey There!
I’m Becca, the artist behind BeccaDwyerDesign. If you haven’t noticed by now, I love painting, illustrating, and designing. Though my business is primarily focused towards creating murals and custom paintings, I’m also passionate about educating fellow artists and sharing information I learn along the way with the community.
I want to help you succeed by offering a mix of fun how-to projects, cool and inspirational stories, and maybe museum commentary here and there. So, welcome to the BeccaDwyerDesign blog, feel free to scroll through my inner thoughts… you’ve been warned!

Navigating the Museum Landscape: A Case for Social and Civic Engagement
What is the primary function of a museum? As we moved into the 21st century, the field shifted its priorities from collections and interpretation to the local community. While I do believe that education is essential, I argue that the primary function of museums is to be centers for social and civic engagement and that cultural stewardship, exhibition planning, and education are all supporting roles in this mission.
