My passion is to play with sunshine and light falling on objects, flowers, sceneries. I very often stumble on a moment of sheer magic that I want to interpret and share with the world....the smile of a child, a beautiful Summer day, a beam of sunshine coming through the curtains, so many simple things that lift my heart. 
Born in France, I married a British citizen and came to live in UK in 1970. I love this wonderful place and will stay here for the rest of my life.
Proud mother of 3 and grandmother of 7 most beautiful grandchildren.

TESTIMONIALS

From Mrs Kira Bodensted
I have loved and admired you work from the first day I saw it. Your love for your subjects are so shining through. Your portraits of my 3 fur-babies are so exquisite and I shall treasure them always. Thank you so much for doing this Beatrice and for being such a good friend. ♥

CARDS bought in my shop on ETSY
These are amazingly lovely. They are much more beautiful than in the photo. The scenes draw you in and give you a sense of peace and balance. This very talented artist has captured the feeling of a more gentle world. You can almost smell the flowers and feel the road under your feet. They're a lovely place to wander to when you need to "get away" for a few minutes. I'm having them framed so I can enjoy them and at the same time share them with friends. These cards are worth every penny and I will be back to buy from Beatrice again.

"ZORBA" It’s arrived – safe and well this morning. I must say it exceeds all my expectations.
The details and the colors are so incredibly beautiful, but the best thing is that you
have captured and reproduced his expression so perfectly.

BEATRICE IS THE ART MESSENGER AND A ROLE MODEL FOR MANY ARTISTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. HER SOCIAL NOBLENESS IS LINKED TO ONE OF A KIND INSPIRATION TO CREATE TENDERNESS IN HER OWN ART. JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE ROSES, AND AT SO MANY OTHER SUBJECTS! WHEN MAINTAINING A LARGE NETWORK TO SUPPORT ART, BEATRICE IS DEEPLY FOCUSED ON HER UNIQUE PAINTING OF THE DAY. FOR YEARS I AM ADMIRING THIS EXCLUSIVE ABILITY TO SWITCH BETWEEN PERSONAL AND WORLDWIDE ACTIVITIES, AND BE SUCCESSFUL IN BOTH.LESS.   -VALIA US ON LINKEDIN
