Bev’s love affair with crafting arose from a fascination with Cameroonian wax textile patterns and drawing with symbols from a young age. Her medium is decorative paper cutting, which doubles as paper doll installations and stencils for 2D drawings and paintings.
Her work explores visibility, invisibility, and often encapsulates the feeling of institutional racism on the panafrican community. Her suspended paper cuts or “paper doll installations” center on themes of visibility, invisibility, and intend to be a reflective commentary on how identity is perceived in the western world.
Pursuant of both a career as a professional artist and a nurse, she seeks to merge her sensitivity to human emotion, the human condition, and human well-being with an independent studio practice exploring these themes. She completed her studies in fine art at Dartmouth College in 2017 and graduated from University of Massachusetts Medical School as a Registered Nurse in 2018.
