A B O U T
Bex is an artist, illustrator and graphic designer creating digital and physical work with a focus on our connection with nature. Portraying whimsical creatures and characters alongside simplified landmarks and stylised landscapes, she has been commissioned to create artwork for both commercial and private clients including schools, visitor centres, theatres, local councils, cafés and public spaces.
W O R K W I T H M E :
-
I am available for mural commissions both indoors and outdoors and have worked on walls both large and small, for private and commercial clients including schools, hospitals, theatres, local councils, cafés, shops, galleries and other public spaces.
I also ‘live paint’ at many art events including festivals, shop windows and have also painted as part of a BBC Children's TV show. I have murals in a number of public spaces including Bristol Old Vic Theatre.
I hand paint many of my murals but can also create digital artwork for projects that require printed graphics.
-
I create illustrations for clients including publishers, museums, local councils and design agencies for use in magazines, animations, printed and online communications, merchandise and more. Take a look at some examples of my illustration work and do get in touch if you have a project you'd like to discuss.
-
As a graphic designer and artist I have a broad range of experience in creating digital artwork for large format printing including exhibitions and visitor centres. If you have a project that requires a mix of art and design skills, or even a mix of digital and hand painted work, do get in touch to discuss your project.
-
If you are looking for a bespoke piece of art, I have painted many commissioned pieces for private clients as well as artworks for offices and public spaces, with my work also featuring in exhibitions and galleries. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss your specific requirements. You can see some examples of my paintings here.
Alongside her commercial work, Bex's paintings and personal artwork focus predominately on nature - exploring the delicate connections and interactions within our ever-changing natural world, depicting a fusion of land and water, where rural and urban landscapes merge and wildlife adapts to a shifting, fluid terrain. Bex is known for her large wildlife murals and animal characters, with British wildlife a regular feature, including her iconic foxes, who can be found painted on numerous streets around the UK.
Bex's distinctive and lyrical style combines soft, spray painted textures, organic shapes, areas of flat colour and sharp, flowing lines and is influenced by graffiti, a childhood lived in the countryside, animated films and illustrated books. When working digitally, she likes to include her own hand created textures and backgrounds to emulate her physical work.
Bex is also a graphic designer with over 20 years experience of working with clients on commercial projects both large and small. Her unique combination of artistic and design skills have culminated in many exciting creative projects, collaborations and opportunities.
She lives and works in Bristol, a city whose energy and street art culture have played a key role in influencing the direction of Bex’s work.
