- ABOUT BEE -

My name is Beatrice, but most know me as "BEE."

I am a self-taught, Delaware artist who has had life-long parallel passions for art and technology. While my interests in all things tech have snowballed into a career in Cyber Security, my dedication to art eventually earned me multiple awards across various categories at the annual Delaware State Fair.

Of course, I didn't learn to draw or paint overnight... 

Growing up, I doodled, I sketched, I created, I crafted. I did it all, but always struggled to find direction or purpose in my work. That was, until one day, frustrated and tired but determined to create something new, I began an assault on a canvas with any materials that were close enough to grab. 

I unleashed.

It was then, over a decade into my artistic journey, my affinity for abstract expressionism was born. The idea that I could create seemingly benign imagery capable of invoking intense emotions enthralled me. I soon discovered that with tactfully executed brush strokes and subtle splatters of chaos, I could tell a story I never knew how to express in words, building a narrative around the intangible. 

I often rely on of smooth-gestures, vibrant colors, and an added layer impulsivity to reach my desired aesthetic in each artwork. I am comfortable working in a wide range of mediums including graphite, charcoal, colored pencils, pastels, ink, and acrylic paint. Though, as if that weren't already enough, I am always experimenting with new materials and techniques to find those best suited for the inspirations behind each new creation.
