Becky Behar

Visiting Studio Artist August-October 2026

Becky Behar is a Colombian-born, Boston-area photo-based artist. Her staged photographs explore motherhood, domesticity, and the link between generations. Blending autobiography and fiction, she draws on Dutch painting, using light, shadow, and symbolic still lifes to examine memory, faith, and inherited gesture. Behar enjoys creating interactive environments in her exhibitions to inspire visual literacy and immersive experiences. 

Behar has exhibited nationally and internationally, including a pop-up exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston, MA) and solo exhibitions around the country including The Griffin Museum of Photography (Winchester, MA), Kniznick Gallery (Waltham, MA), and Workspace Gallery (Lincoln, NE). Her work has appeared in The Boston Globe, Lilith, and What Will You Remember? She received the 2025 Isaac Anolic Jewish Book Arts Award and is a Visiting Scholar at Brandeis University’s Women’s Studies Research Center.
