About.
Bethany has spent over 20 years immersed in the interior design industry while simultaneously cultivating her painting and studio practice. Her journey began at Eastern Accents, a Chicago-based textile manufacturer, and continued as a procurement consultant for interior designers. These experiences served as pivotal stepping stones in her decision to develop a textile line and remain a constant source of inspiration in her studio work.
Each step of my process continually refuels a future process, becoming a symbol of our continuous and cyclical expansion.
- Works on paper serve as moving meditations, exploring improvisation through interactions with the unexpected reactions of color and material.
- Works on canvas explore contrast by juxtaposing the fluid markings of her works on paper with bold, color-blocking.
- Completed paintings take on new life through the methodical process of pattern creation for fabric + wallpaper. This pattern creation becomes an extended exploration of contrast by transforming painting improvisation into intentional digital design.
- Collage Work incorporates leftover process fragments, including painted canvas strips, cut-up works on paper, and fabric scraps. These materials are deconstructed and rearranged to create new collage compositions.
