Colour has become the driving force behind Bethany’s paintings. Colour leads the way. Every painting has a new palette and she perceives the world through colour.
Colour creates shape and form in Bethany’s eyes, creeping into her sub conscious and then emerging onto canvas.
More recently Bethany’s work has been affected by the challenges and experiences of becoming a new mother. Her work has become more empowered and confident, the personal questions that arise from motherhood having a profound effect. Gestural and emotive marks come together. A battle between surface, paint and Bethany’s eye, creating an unexpected balance in composition. A visceral reaction to colour.
In Bethany’s mind, planning the destination of a painting would impair the outcome. Each painting has its own journey. The excitement for Bethany is in the journey, exploring colour, scale and personal emotion. An escape from the everyday. Every painting is created to provoke a response for both the artist and the viewer.
Bethany works from her studio in Norfolk and has gallery representation throughout the UK and has work in many private collections, including Norway, Hong Kong & the US. Recently Bethany’s artwork has also been commissioned for the King’s Road Chesneys showroom where a body of work is currently on display.
