Beverley Frost
Beverley is an established Christchurch based artist working from her professional studio mainly in acrylics and watercolours. Her deep love of the Banks Peninsula has evolved during the past thirty years of owning a small country bach in Wainui, where she escapes with her family and
two dogs as often as she can. Beverley’s chosen subjects vary from New Zealand images that have touched her heart to still life studies that leap out from the canvas. For each new painting she draws on her personal bank of sketches, photographs, found objects and collected memories. She only paints places that she has immersed herself in. Beverley paints from observation, views that can be overlooked by the human eye bringing life and beauty to the simplest objects and scenes.
Her practice is one that encompasses small to large-scale artworks in a hyper-realistic style. Beverley’s brushwork is both expressive and precise, creating an evocative space where nature’s rhythms and movement are felt rather than just observed. Just sitting in nature absorbing the surroundings with her sketch book, pencils and watercolours - her happy place.
Beverley is represented in galleries around New Zealand. She has held a number of solo shows and has participated in various group exhibitions. Beverley’s work is held in private collections in the UK, Europe, USA, Australia & New Zealand.
