Through her art, she explores the complexities, beauty, and nuances of the Black experience. Collaborating with the models and artists to capture the truest portrayal of themselves in a portrait is how she always gets ‘the shot’.
Bettina is also ⅓ Founder of All Purpose LDN, a platform that focuses on transcending sectors, educating and connecting the black community.
ABOUT THE WORK:
The eyes are the window to the soul.
These pieces tell a story. If you look deep enough, if you listen hard enough, you will be able to hear them.
These works were partnered together during a re-edit of some older works I had created. They have been matched together because of the similarities I noticed, not only in the scenic context, but within their eyes. There is depth within the iris that shouts loudly at me, capturing my focus and engaging me. These portraits are here to captivate, and will force you to stop and look deeply.
So, will you?
