About The Artist

Bev’s love affair with crafting arose from a fascination with Cameroonian wax textile patterns and drawing with symbols from a young age. Her medium is decorative paper cutting, which doubles as paper doll installations and stencils for 2D paintings.

Her work explores visibility and invisibility. Many of her pieces explore identity liminality - often experienced by first generation Americans. Her suspended paper cuts or “paper doll installations” are also inspired by indigenous psychedelic healing modalities, ancestral memory, and tribal rites of passage. As a first generation Cameroonian-American herself, Bev’s paper dolls are a reflective commentary on how identity is negotiated versus perceived in the West.

Pursuant of both a career as a professional artist and a holistic psychiatric nurse practitioner, she merges her commitment to enhancing the human condition, and supporting psychospiritual healing with an independent studio practice exploring these themes. She completed her studies in fine art at Dartmouth College in 2017 and leads Transcendmental Psychiatry, an integrative psychiatry private practice. Learn more about Trancendmental Psychiatry here.
