Beverley Jane Art
Beverley Jane Art
Beverley has spent most of her working life as a music teacher, teaching in schools in Shropshire and the West Midlands. Since starting oil painting, she has found many paintable subjects in her home town of Bridgnorth, in Shropshire. However, her real love is the sea, particularly the wild Atlantic coastlines of the islands of Orkney. Being an archipelago, the sea is on view wherever you look! Perfect seascape views for painting dramatic crashing waves, or peacful sunsets, or even island life in the small town of Stromness.
There is a charity close to Beverley's heart: the A-T Society, which works tirelessly for people with Ataxia Telangiectasia, a life-limiting condition affecting children and young people. A good friend in Bridgnorth has two children who suffer with this debilitating condition. 10% of all sales goes direct to this charity.

OCTOBER 2023
Solo exhibition at St Mary's Church, Shrewsbury, as part of Shropshire Art Society, for 4 weeks, starting 14th October. After selling many original paintings in our 'Art for A-T' exhibition in September, there are only just enough left for this exhibition! I am currently busy with the paintbrush in readiness for another exhibition in January - more to follow.
SEPTEMBER 2023
My colleague Annette (a fellow artist) and I held an exhibition entitled 'Art for A-T', to raise funds for our charity, The A-T Society (Ataxia Telangiectasia). We were overwhelmed with the response and raised £450 for the charity! Many original paintings were sold, as well as prints, greetings cards and calendars. I have to now get busy with the paintbrush again, as further exhibitions are looming!
