BIOGRAPHY
From Etobicoke, art began at an early age drawing cartoons and animals from books and comic magazines. Having so much love for animals, drawings became more detailed and in depth.
Beverly completed several workshops by top Canadian Artists such as – Derek Wicks, Kelly McNeil, Dave Beckett and Robert Bateman which were major highlights of inspiration learning from the best mentors.
From that point using her own photos for her artwork, Beverly strived to improve and explore mother nature at its best travelling to Alaska, not once but twice to photograph Brown Bears. With instruction from a well known Canadian photographer and guide Michael Bertelsen.
Further learning through the camera eye was important to capture in exploring the world of art and photography which took to a new path of pet drawings in pastel since 2018.

ARTIST STATEMENT
My love for pets are always on the drawing board. Drawing pets from my own photographs in pencil and pastels is my passion. It is a calm relaxing feel entering into “the zone” of the drawing world with the challenge of creating a pet pastel memory that will last a lifetime.
Hearing and seeing the excitement how happy I can make people when they see the end result of a pet portrait is the best feeling ever!
