Current exhibition
Beth Olivia Out of the Studio
(Private View - Wednesday 6th May 6-8pm)
Out of the Studio marks Beth Olivia’s first solo exhibition, bringing together a collection of original works inspired by meaningful places and expressive, colourful florals. Through bold scale and energetic mark-making, the paintings are created to feel alive, designed as striking statement pieces that evoke emotion.
Her work aims to move beyond simply creating a beautiful image, instead inviting the viewer to connect with the feeling, memory, and energy behind each piece.
The exhibition title reflects the journey of these personal works from the private space of the studio into the public eye for the very first time, marking the beginning of Beth’s journey as an exhibiting artist.
