Bethany Mabee Art
Art + Textiles inspired by nature’s repeating patterns.
A Cyclical Practice
Palette > Painting > Pattern > Collage
Bethany Mabee is a Midwest artist and textile designer. With a process rooted in the cyclical patterns of nature: her work explores how forms can evolve into new iterations, only to return and regenerate the process once more.
Moving from palette to painting, painting to pattern and pattern to collage, each stage of her process feeds the next.
Painting to Pattern
Small sections of Bethany’s original paintings are digitally isolated and transformed into patterns for fabric and wallpaper. Bethany’s textile collections allow her paintings to extend beyond the canvas and into interior spaces.
Pattern to Collage
Collage serves as a return to the tactile origins of the studio process. Painted canvas scraps, works on paper and fabric remnants are rearranged into new compositions..
