After years as an elementary school teacher and following a brief sojourn into commercial retail design, Beverley Binfet graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1993 from Okanagan University College.
Beverley's work creates for the viewer provocative two-dimensional representations of three-dimensional subject matter that is both pleasing and puzzling to the eye.  Her work is very affordable and very enjoyable to own.
Beverley says that" the understated beauty of the still life; the evocative simplicity of a peaceful landscape; the thrilling purity of objects and nature in their basic form are the elements from which I draw inspiration for my art.  I am continually motivated by my surroundings and, while I try to find unique approaches to design, my primary focus is on the pure simplicity of the basic shapes as they contribute to the composition.  I purposely restrict my work to a limited palette and, while I layer the colours and scratch the surface, both literally and metaphorically, my art evolves its own reality.
Beverly lives in Penticton where she is constantly motivated and challenged by the material she finds around in nature.
