Since 2012, Bev Robertson AFCA has dedicated herself to a full-time artistic practice, distinguished by a profound fascination with capturing and manipulating light. She is widely recognized for her large-scale, vibrant floral paintings, which masterfully depict the dynamic interplay of light and color, imbuing each canvas with a luminous, sun-drenched quality.
Robertson's artistic scope extends beyond floras to encompass evocative seascapes and the ethereal, mist-laden forests of the Pacific West Coast. A recurring theme in her work is the transformative power of light, often leading viewers to observe that she "paints light into each piece." Her unique rendering of glass, in particular, draws attention, as it is the strategic application of light that grants it vitality. Whether depicting flowers bathed in summer's warmth or rainforests permeated with an unexpected luminosity, Robertson consistently strives to infuse her subjects with a radiant glow.
Through the skillful application of light and dark contrasts, Robertson freezes moments in time, evoking a profound sense of warmth and illumination that deeply resonates with her audience.
Painting is what I love to do, it feeds my soul. Being able to paint on a regular basis gives me the opportunity to explore and discover the artist that has been waiting inside of me all these years. As I finish one painting, there is always another painting in my mind, just waiting to be created .I love finding the light in the painting that make it come alive. My goal is to evoke a special memory or feelings, from the viewer, so they feel they have seen that before.
