Bio
Beth Kay is a multidisciplinary artist currently exploring the collision between fine art painting and firearms. Her practice reimagines traditional shooting targets as vibrant geometric paintings pierced by gunshot. She experiments with the recontextualisation of rifles as mark making tools within the context of her creative process as well as vibrant geometric abstraction. Beth Kay has been practising art for over a decade and just completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting) at the leading tertiary arts education provider in Australasia, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.
