Beatrice Livesey

Beatrice Livesey, affectionately known as bebe, is a young, professional, self taught artist who specialises in oil painting.
Residing in the Lake District, UK, she has embarked on a self-guided artistic journey. Drawing inspiration from the natural world that surrounds her, she paints evocative still lifes, landscapes and captivating portraits. She defines her distinctive style with a profound love for the deep contrasting colours and intricate patterns that are present in her paintings, as influenced by the Dutch 17th-century artists. She finds motivation in her collections of curiosities, which she paints with meticulous attention to detail.
Bebe believes that the stark contrast of shadows between the subject and the darkness that surrounds it heightens the intensity of the perceived.
