Tita Petita Chihuahua is a wonderfully bright chapbook that combines the paintings and poetry of Becki Flack. An experienced painter of dogs and cats, Becki is best known for her pet portraiture that captures an individual pet’s personality, often including the unique environment that they call home.  In 2015 a little dog with a big heart (and a big bark) came into Becki’s life, transforming it forever. She became the Dog Mother of a very special Chihuahua called Tita who enjoys dressing up. Becki has been working on a series of oil paintings of her ever since, called The World of Tita Petita Chihuahua where she paints her in various guises- as a Mexican, a Rapper, a Nurse and even a Superhero! The paintings are detailed and painted with love and a big dollop of humour. Becki hopes the Tita Petita Chihuahua chapbook will make you smile.

Becki Flack has a BA (Hons) Fine Art (Painting) degree from De Montfort University & a BTEC Development Award in Childrens’ Book Illustration from Chelsea College of Art. She produces collages of Nature in its most idealized form as a type of vivid Paradise. She creates the work on a landscape that she has painted in oils. She then plays with different images from decoupage, wrapping paper or magazines until she finds a composition she likes. Usually animals are included as she loves them and also flowers for their beauty and colour.  Her wish is to produce mini celebrations of life that give her pleasure and inspire joy in the viewer.
