Bethany Kenyon is an artist who works with combinations of figuration and abstraction to bring forward various emotions and a powerful sense of personhood and body in the work she creates. Bethany became a mother recently and motherhood has become the focus of much of her current work as she navigates this new identity. She enjoys working with a variety of mediums, more recently moving towards soft sculpture and found object art. Over the last few years Bethany has completed a variety of art residencies including Eucharist Church Residency in Hamilton and the Westport Schoolhouse Residency in Nova Scotia. Her work has been shown at various co-operative and commercial galleries in the Greater Hamilton Area and she was recently included in an exhibition at the Artlink Gallery in Indiana.
