"Fearless With Color"
Bev Myers is a superb colorist in the grand tradition of artists who maintained that inventive and romantic use of color that is the soul of their inspiration and the foundation for making disparate marks on canvas that ultimately would come together. Myers is an artist whose inspiration comes directly from the environment and through individual creativity and personal motivation to discover one’s inner artistic ingenuity.
"I have a reckless disregard with lines, shapes, and color."
Myers generates a visual theatre in the round chock full of brilliant tints, and includes still-lifes, environmental architecture, distinctive portraits, and most recently, completely non-narrative works still full of color, but with a distant DNA that goes back to her early descriptive works as a young artist.
It also was a fortuitous event that she had the opportunity to study with the renowned painter, Wolf Kahn, whose complete absorbency in nature’s aesthetics proved to be a turning point for building confidence and a personal perspective on the direction her work would take.
Myers continues to create intriguing images that are deliberately layered with bits and pieces of an expansive puzzle, which are a delight to view and a pleasant challenge to solve.
