Betty is an artist and set designer based in London.

Between working on films Betty dedicates time towards painting and drawing. Her style ranges from simple line sketches to bold watercolours and oil paintings rich in texture.

Betty’s paintings are often based on a combination of elements: a collection of objects which tend to hold a place of sentimental value, an element of the natural world and a playful exploration with pattern design. Narratives are often part based on reality and part on memory. Fictional elements which symbolise an emotional importance are woven into the paintings, forming a secret layer of meaning that lingers for to the viewer to interpret. A fascination with historical design, myths and legends also play an important role in Betty’s work and frequently spark the starting inspiration for her paintings.
