Altered Realities

JEFFREY C. BECTON

Working year-round from his Deer Isle studio, Jeffery Becton draws from a vast collection of photography of his natural surroundings, local homes, and personal imagery to create his striking compositions. His images, which he describes as digital montage, exist somewhere between photography, collage, and painting.

Becton is one of the pioneers of the digital revolution, and his work spans the generations of Maine’s artistic tradition.
