Voices From Other Rooms

Voices From Other Rooms is painted with many layers of acrylic on canvas, both in thick brush strokes and as thin, sometimes runny glazes. Oil stick and pencil create texture. Areas have been gilded with gold metal leaf, giving it a magical, enticing shimmer especially by night time lighting.

Incorporating both abstract and figurative techniques, the subject matter itself reflects my interest in the symbology of animals, especially birds, within art and our connection with the instinctive, natural world.

With its palette of deep rose and magenta pinks set off by yellows, ochres and browns, this smaller, flexibly sized painting will enhance and easily fit into many different styles of interiors and decor.

This painting is unframed and wired, varnished and ready to hang. Framing is optional and not strictly necessary, as the sides of the canvas are painted (the same yellow as areas of the front of canvas). Signed on the front, it comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Beverly is a painter based in Melbourne, Australia. Trained formally in fine art and later, digital media, she worked in design and illustration, with a segue into animation and video. She creates in a variety of media including painting, printmaking and drawing.

Her work is colourful, bold, provocative and engaging, reflecting a range of influences, from Symbolism, Expressionist art, graffiti and Pop Art to 70s cinema and modern poetry and lyrics. She involves the viewer in a narrative and mood, enabling the works to never lose their ability to engage with and enhance the life of the collector. Now painting full time, creating art is a love and a passion, enhanced by an interest in architecture, design and the cultural zeitgeist generally, fed by a curiosity about where/how painting fits into and connects with these fields.

With a classically trained background, she works in oils, acrylics and mixed media, using layers of glazes and vibrant, singing colours. Grounded in drawing and mark making, she chases those happy accidents found during the creative process to investigate new directions and bring a sense of texture, temporal fragility and spontaneity. Formal rules and an awareness of art history create structure–structure that can be experimented with, broken and remade.

Her subject matter is the human condition, spirituality and language. A love of animals and the natural and unseen/hidden world laces through it all. The ultimate aim is connection.
