About Betty

I work with colour, text, and pattern to explore how judgement forms-often before we're aware of it. How alignment, misalignment, and repetition shape perception, and how meaning is constructed through structure and restraint.

My practice is informed by modernist design and typography, particularly the clarity and discipline of Bauhaus thinking. I'm drawn to direct visual language-block colour, deliberate pattern, and considered composition-where every element has purpose, but nothing is over-explained.

The meaning behind each piece matters deeply to me. Every work begins with a clear intellectual intention-an idea that is held, tested, and refined through process. Nothing is accidental, even when the result appears simple.

Process and outcome are equally important. The work is made with precision, but always with its life beyond the studio in mind. How it holds itself on the wall matters. How it sits within a space. How it is encountered by someone bringing their own assumptions, experiences, and judgements.

I'm interested in that exchange-the moment where intention meets perception. Where the work stops belonging to me and starts doing its own job. The piece doesn't instruct; it holds its ground. Meaning isn't imposed, but it is never absent.

Each work is made to stand alone, carrying both the discipline of its making and the openness of its reception.
