SCAA celebrates a unique solo exhibition by our own President Pro Tem, Gallery Chair, and Event Chair, Tobi Beck. Running from September 18 through November 1, 2026, at the Canyon Theatre Guild, this exclusive showing serves as a vibrant archive retrospective, featuring a diverse array of original abstract works spanning from 2014 to 2025 – all priced accessibly under $600 – a great opportunity to collect a piece of the foundational work that brought Tobi's work to where it is today.
"Smudges of My Love & Guts"
Tobi’s artistic journey began in 2014 – a practice that unexpectedly carried her through a profound cancer scare only one year later. ​
