Beth Fletcher studied Fine Art at Aberystwyth, and now lives in Shrewsbury. She has been exhibiting with us since 2013.
She makes her abstracted landscapes, based on the feelings and observations that she collects. Back in the studio the paintings become an imaginative exploration, where the work is built up stroke by stroke, each mark suggested by the preceding one and suggesting the next one in turn.
Beth is the architect of these landscapes. The finished works, though often highly abstracted, are powerfully emotional as well as intellectually controlled. Memory and intuition work alongside intention and accident to create works which evoke half remembered landscapes. They can provoke a yearning, trigger emotion as well as curiosity. While the scenes she paints probably don't exist, perhaps they should!
In 2024, examples of Beth's work were purchased by the National Library of Wales for their permanent collection.
Beth Fletcher has had successful exhibitions with us in 2013, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2019 & 2022. Beth returns again in February 2025.
