Beth Pickett CV
Recent Experience
Artist in Residence | Marlborough College| Current
In my current role, I am funded to work as a full-time artist, while teaching and promoting my specialism in the School. Currently introducing screen printing to the school, I am enjoying experimenting with screen printing, relief printing, wood engraving, dry point and metal engraving. In my current work, I am exploring the relationship between image, music and text in the context of nature, inspired by poetry and art theorists such as Roland Barthes. In my work with students, I work on tutoring, curation of exhibitions, and welcoming visitors to my studio.
