Meet Becky Smith, an up-and-coming artist and extraordinary maker from the United Kingdom. Becky creates inspiring 3D works of art using a glue gun. In this inspiring video, she talks us through her glue-art paintings, the inspiration she gets from social media, and explains how her passion for drawing crafted her career as an artist.

Since childhood, Becky Smith knew she wanted to be an artist, but it wasn’t until she left a painting course at school that she developed her unique style. Her use of glue adds interesting 3D and texture dimensions to her creations, as well as decorative features such as gold leaf and diamond dust. These techniques create beautiful and unique portraits, as you’ll see in this inspiring video.
