Growing up in Frankfurt (Germany), Back explored her artistic abilities at an early age. At 17, Back and her family moved to NY, where her creative calling led her to the School of Visual Arts from which she graduated with a BFA. A career in graphic and web design ensued, culminating in Back running her own Design Firm.
In a quest to discover her own artistic voice rather than catering to the needs of her clients, Back found herself craving the feeling for a paintbrush in her hand. It was then that Back remembered her passion for painting, the emotional connection to the brush, paint and canvas, the freedom she felt during moments of true expression. She remembered the delight and ecstasy from a day of creating and the sense of accomplishment when her own vision comes to life.
Drawing from current events and personal experiences, Back has a natural desire to tell stories. A composition could be a figure conveying an emotion or moment, a geometrically infused landscape, or the intricate details and beauty of an eye. With her signature style, Back extends the narrative of her composition by including text, photographs, or words.
Back had two solo exhibits in New York and has exhibited at Aqua Art Miami, Red Dot Miami, Affordable Art Fair, MvVo AD Art Shows, ArtExpo, Market Art+Design, Conception Arts and galleries in and around NYC. She is a member of the Hudson River Art Collective and has completed an art residency at Kunstraum in Brooklyn and was the sole recipient of the Artist Residency 2022, Cedar Lakes Estates. Her work is in private collections in the US and abroad.
