I love to celebrate through art because it encourages and uplifts.
Emphasising love, light, beauty and goodness is my creative response to life.
I create celebratory paintings, mixed media pieces and drawings focusing largely on the human form. Common themes in my art are strength, love, heritage and identity with exploration of spiritual, mental, emotional and social factors. Bold colours, vibrant patterns, symbolism and storytelling are key features of my work. There are often strong Celtic, Native American and African influences in my art reflecting my mixed heritage.
I have been a prolific creator all my life and have studied art to postgraduate level in the United Kingdom. I studied at University of the Arts London (Berkshire School of Art & Design) 1999 to 2000, Birmingham City University (U.C.E.) 2000 to 2003 and Reading University 2005 to 2006.
I have worked as an artist / illustrator for many years and over that time I have created lots of pieces of interesting and vibrant artwork for a variety of clients: from global publishing houses to individuals on independent commissions.
I have a reputation for consistently creating high quality artwork, maintaining positive working relationships, being approachable and very professional. I have a lot of experience working on commissions and I am happy working with a range of subject matter.
What clients say about my work:
Beth’s creative interpretation of all our ideas was amazing and she has captured our likenesses perfectly. The choice of the painting being on stretched canvas was ideal.
On seeing the completed painting for the first time online was an incredibly emotional moment and I cried tears of happiness. We had two additional copies on stretched canvas made so that each family home has a copy too.
It is a very special and unique family portrait and memories of lockdown and how precious our family are to us is embedded in this picture.
