Light and Lucency

Coming up next to Murrurundi is the much-anticipated solo exhibition of Bethany Saab. A practicing psychologist, Bethany holds no formal training in fine arts – yet she is quickly finding her place amongst Australia’s emerging artists to watch. Bethany held her first solo exhibition with Michael Reid Northern Beaches in January 2021, which was met with great success. She returns, this time to Murrurundi with her debut show Light and Lucency. Painting predominantly still life, Bethany’s paintings have been described as ‘intimate glimpses into personal spaces” and as an example of ‘joyous expression” through the use of pattern (Peter Haynes, The Canberra Times, May 2021).
