Hello from the studio
Studio 3 Craven Arts House
Hello I’m Bev - known as a sheep artist I also focus on wild open uplands, ecosystems, distinctive patterns and remnants of farming heritage, all to feed my imagination.
Where we are
Find me at Craven Arts in Skipton
We currently have seven studio holders at Craven Arts House, all of whom support our Trustees in promoting creativity in the Craven area.
Studio 3 at Craven Arts House
As part of a former parish school my lovely light studio incorporates the original wooden screens that had separated boys from girls - these days we let both in together!

Celebrating Yorkshire's Dales
Colour choices
I'm instinctively led to green gold, burnt sienna and indigo my signature colours to express my feelings about the natural world especially its geology and terrain.
About Me
I have been a watercolour artist practicing in Yorkshire and Lancashire for the past 20+ years. My art expresses my feelings about a subject rather than being truly representational. I am moved by the intensity of J. M. W. Turner's ethereal paintings and more modern day artist Michael Morgan both of whom challenged watercolour ‘rules’ with loose and evocative styles.
