ABOUT
Bekah Fly is a visual artist, born in New York City. Influenced by surrealism, graffiti, and self-directed healing practices, her work operates as a form of altar making, shaping and naming images from dreamlike states where the conscious meets the unconscious.
Recurring motifs such as wolves, IV vessels, and hybrid figures move through her work as symbolic carriers of instinct, survival, and care.
Informed by lived experience of disability, her paintings approach the body as an alchemical site — a place of transformation, rupture, and repair. Her practice engages image-making as a form of medicine-making.
She studied fine art at Pratt Institute and at the School of Visual Arts and now works as a digital artist and painter. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and shows including Greenpoint Gallery, The Lila Project, Two Selves Gallery, The Beatnik Lounge, and Alias, and she has participated in EMERGE NYC.
Fly has also presented work through live painting and performance, including I Sell the Shadow, a collaboration with Lisa Russell at the United Nations, as well as live painting for Cane Corso Records/Art Collective.
She is a recipient of grants from New York Foundation for the Arts and the Helen Woo Academy of Special Dreams.
