Beverly has been interested in art ever since she can remember. At a very young age she spent countless hours drawing and painting. Beverly was first introduced to the computer at Massachusetts College of Art, where she took a course in computer graphics. For Beverly, it was love at first sight.

Beverly started working with Painter 5.5 in 2000. It’s a versatile program that allows her to stay close to the painting techniques she used when painting in oils. When beginning a piece, she thinks of the landscape as layers of textures and tries to duplicate its smooth and gritty aspects. Then color takes over. It’s instrumental in her work because she wants to stay as close to the natural color as possible. Starting with a blank canvas in Painter 5.5, her goal is not just to recreate what she sees, but to say something new about the beauty of a landscape.

Beverly’s style is Impressionist and her favorite artist is John Singer-Sargeant. She admires his style and hopes to develop her own unique style and translate it into her work.
