Meet Bethany Colleen
Bethany Colleen is a surrealist artist who works primarily with paint and ink to create emotive, wonder filled, and imaginative illustrations. Her unique art style stems from her love of seeing and sharing whimsical interpretations of the world. Each of her story-like images can elicit a variety of different interpretations.
Bethany enjoys working with a variety of mediums, including gouache, ink, and acrylic. She is drawn to mediums that depict bright colors that bring out her love for painting light, reflections, and her seemingly glowing subject matter.
She uses her personal experiences with Multiple Sclerosis, Autism, and mental health symptoms in many of her illustrations. Through her images she showcases the full spectrum of human emotions through her expression of animal life forms.
Bethany’s aim is to connect with the viewer through images that depict both experiences of hardship, as well as the resilience of the human spirit.
“When I first met Beth and saw her work, I knew she was going to be a success as an artist. She is not only detailed with her work but she puts her heart into it with a passion! She has a whimsical way of making her art magic and a few surprises along the way yet she will work hard to create your vision which is what she did painting my grandchildren and pets into my home portrait. You won’t regret commissioning her to paint a specific subject for you!”
“Knowing this amazing artist and calling her friend is wonderful. Having her draw you a meaningful and beautiful tattoo how you requested is beyond special.”
