Artist Bio

Bettina is a self taught artist originally from Kildare but now living and working in South Kilkenny. With a background in art and antiques she has worked abroad in London and The Middle East before returning to Ireland in the late 90's. Since 2012 she has been gradually growing her art practice and is now represented by several galleries around the country. Working in both oil and other mixed media her method is intuative and expressive. Drawing inspiration from our coastal landscape with expressive paintings that bring an immediate and immersive experience of the power of the sea, the sound of the waves whispering over the sand and pebbles along the shore, the smell of the salty sea, are all here within these highly charged paintings.  The work is intuative, interpreting aspects of landscape as expression of form and movement. Feel and see the ocean and experience the landscape in all its changing forms.

Select paintings are available in several galleries;  The Tudor Artisan Hub, Tipperary, The Castlemartry Gallery, Co. Cork, The Kilkenny Art Gallery, Kilkenny City, The Pig Yard Gallery, Wexford, Marnie & Lily Gallery, Kinsale and The Russell Gallery, New Quay, Co. Clare.

I purchased a painting from Bettina during lockdown. I became aware of her work through The Jack & Jill Foundation Fundraiser, Incognito. I found the website really informative re size, frames etc. The paintings were so captivating I took the plunge and ordered online, though i hadn't actually seen the paintings. I was not disappointed by the process or the painting. Ordering, payment and delivery was really easy and quick. I am delighted with my new piece of art.
