Bethany’s paintings are an extension of the senses. She looks to nature & the surrounding countryside for inspiration, to create a relationship between landscape and canvas.
The use of texture, colour and mark explore how Bethany see’s the British landscape. Her paintings grow organically, just like the landscape that surrounds us. Bethany wants the viewer to get lost in the marks and composition of her work, to see something new every time the piece is studied.
Colour is Bethany's passion and her palettes over time have changed and developed. Her work has a constant energy and a beautiful rhythm to it, inspired by the changing seasons. If lacking inspiration, the fields & beautiful vast skies that surround the studio give constant inspiration
Bethany has gallery representation throughout the UK, and has work in many private collections in Norway, Hong Kong & the US.
'My work and the way I paint is my way of responding to what is going on around us. I seek comfort in painting, to get what is in my head, out and onto canvas. The landscape that surrounds us is a constant fascination to me. Through a process of building layers up, I approach the painting intuitively. With loose intention I start to build up layers, responding to each mark. I believe that every painting should be an experiment and an experience. Every painting should push my boundaries and force myself out of my comfort zone. Only then will it be the best it can possibly be'.
