ANYWHERE, WITH YOU

Anywhere With You draws inspiration from the idea that self-sovereignty creates the freedom for a deeply connected, interdependent romantic partnership.

"I can go anywhere with you because I know I can go anywhere with myself."
The double entendre sets the stage for recurring narratives of romance, discovery, and adventure amid works saturated with bold color and inspired still-life settings.
“There’s a moment in life when you can stand in the mirror, look yourself in the eye, and know: I would go anywhere in this life with you. There is also a moment when you can look another in the eye and know the same, without fear. For me, this knowing is the source of self-confidence and deep romantic love. I hope that wherever you find yourself in relation to love, freedom, and connection, you can feel some of that loved-up energy infused into the works.”


Becc Matarazzo is a multidisciplinary artist with a 25-year career spanning performance art, luxury accessory and costume design, and contemporary art. For over a decade, Becc lived the life of an internationally celebrated burlesque showgirl, muse, and producer, delivering solo performances of her own design. It was within this world that she professionally honed her skills in storytelling, visual finesse, digital marketing, and theatricality.
That world of spectacle, travel, and glamour now lives on in her paintings, translated into show-stopping color, expressive texture, and bold marks of movement and improvisation.
“I enjoy creating my initial layers with fast-drying gesso and acrylic so I can keep the momentum of inspiration going. My aim is a visual that feels alive with quick decisions. I then add layers of oil, charcoal, and oil stick, bringing vibrancy and varied texture to the completed work.
I use the same principles for creating a good performance and a work of art: you notice new details each time you see it, it makes you reflect and smile, it seems to be enjoying itself, and it looks great from both the front row and the back row.”
Infused throughout Matarazzo’s work are Mediterranean motifs drawn from her ancestry, romantic love, and many cherished life philosophies.

Becc currently creates from her Melbourne home studio alongside her young son and ever-supportive husband.
