Hello from the studio

Studio 3 Craven Arts House

Hello I’m Bev the artist - I focus on wild open uplands, ecosystems, distinctive patterns, and remnants of farming heritage to inform my imagination and my palette.

Studio 3 at Craven Arts House

As part of a former parish school my lovely light studio incorporates the original wooden screens that separated boys from girls - these days we let both in together!

Colour choices

Green gold, quinacridone gold, burnt sienna and indigo are my signature colours expressing my feelings about our natural world especially its geology and terrain.

About Me

I have been a watercolour artist practicing in Yorkshire and Lancashire for the past 20+ years. My art expresses my feelings about a subject rather than being truly representational. I am moved by the intensity of J. M. W. Turner's ethereal paintings and more modern day artist Michael Morgan both of whom challenged watercolour ‘rules’ with loose and evocative styles.
