Bethany Mabee is a Midwest artist and textile designer whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, collage, fabric, and wallpaper.

Her work explores the balance between spontaneity and structure through a cyclical process. Beginning with fluid works on paper, her process develops into layered paintings incorporating geometric arch forms inspired by patterns observed in nature. Small sections of completed paintings are digitally transformed into textile and wallpaper patterns, while remnants from the studio, including painted canvas and fabric scraps, are cut and reassembled into collage.

Through this continual evolution of materials, Mabee investigates the rhythms, symbolism, and recurring patterns that connect the natural world and human experience.

For more than 20 years, Bethany has worked alongside interior designers as a remote furniture procurement consultant while simultaneously nurturing her painting practice. Textile design emerged naturally from both worlds, allowing her exploration of color, form, and pattern to continue beyond the canvas. Textiles are a natural extension of her study of forms evolving into new forms: paintings evolve from canvas to digital pattern, to tangible fabric + wallpaper and from there, into new iterations through the eyes of a designer!
