"Landscape and figures have been inspired by my 20 years of life in East Africa and Ethiopia. Many of these images remain a constant in my work, and my relationship with Africa is ongoing." "Abstraction allows a challenging way of looking at the formal aspects of composition. Perhaps it is even more challenging than rendering what is already before the eye. It is exciting to try and find balances between diverse elements and express them as line, colour, form and texture in relationship to each other rather than a linear thought. It is totally dependant on response and a dialogue with the materials." "My printmaking began several years ago as a desire to put into artform the many sketches I had from Uganda and Kenya, and has developed into a passion. There is something lovely about the feel of paper, the touch of ink, and unforgiving demands of plate. The final excitement of pulling them all through the printing press culminates in either a successful unity of these elements...or fodder for the next plate. In Art, nothing is wasted....it is all more experience to bring to the next piece.” Click on image to enlarge Contact Bev at
