By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the first of two 12-piece exhibitions of works by contemporary American landscape painter Bethany Fields (born 1975 in Texas, USA).
Bethany is an award-winning artist working primarily in soft pastels. She studied color and lighting design theory while at University and after graduating, worked as a designer and on-air talent in Burbank, CA for Plastic Cow Productions, focusing on layout, photography, and design work for their internet DIY network, CraftTVWeekly.
Bethany’s photography and designs have been published in numerous national magazines including Country Living Magazine. Her creations have also been seen in the book Stitched Jewels (Lark Books).
For the past 10 years, she has worked in the fine art field of photography and composition. Her paintings are centered around semi-abstracted landscapes, saturated colors, and a slightly whimsical, dreamy rhythm. Bethany paints daily and keeps a blog of her art journey at www.bethanyfieldsblog.com. She exhibits her paintings nationally and has taught classes and workshops in art and design here in the United States and abroad.
Bethany is a member of the Pastel Society of America, the Lone Star Pastel Society, The Pastel Society of the West Coast, The Amarillo Art Institute, and the Amarillo Association of Fine Art.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT
“Pulling out my box of pastels is akin to the feeling I get when opening a wonderful story that has yet to be read. What story will I paint today? When I was a child, my grandmother put a paintbrush in my hand and gave me a small, smooth rock to paint. Eventually, the rock became paper and the paper became canvas and my Grandmother and I, we giggled and sang.
In my memory, the landscapes of childhood are brilliant and gentle, saturated and soft. I want to create beauty and happiness in my paintings through graceful skies, soft fields of grass, and shady thick trees.
My chosen medium of pastel allows me to work with brilliance and immediacy and at my own rhythm. I paint daily in my home studio with one sweet cat named “Boo” as my very own studio assistant.”
