R Becket was born in the 1950’s in the south west of England.

After studying education at Oxford in the seventies she pursued a career in state education teaching biological sciences. She was published by the Arvon Foundation in her teens and continued to explore the arts alongside teaching sciences as a career. As a visual artist she exhibited in the UK and abroad over a twenty year period, working collaboratively on a number of publications. She founded the SEAS arts group in Deal and exhibited with Pauline Gould to raise awareness of The Pines Calyx green sustainable life project in 2007.Her personal publications include unusual adult literary and satirical works.
