Biography
Bernadette “Bee” Twomey is an Australian abstract painter known for her expressive, layered compositions that explore the interplay of color, movement, and emotion. Inspired by both natural landscapes and the rhythm of urban life, her works balance spontaneity with deliberate mark-making, creating canvases that are as textured as they are lyrical.
Twomey’s process is rooted in intuition, building layers of acrylic and mixed media to produce dynamic surfaces filled with energy and depth. Often described as “emotional mark-making,” her practice focuses on translating feeling into form, using color as a universal language of connection.
Her art has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Australia, with shows in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and New South Wales. Beyond the gallery, Twomey’s works have been featured in interior design media including The Block Shop and Style Curator, where her vibrant paintings are celebrated for their ability to transform contemporary spaces while remaining grounded in fine art tradition.
