Great to see a feature of the In My Element exhibition in the Bath and Wiltshire Parent!

New exhibition at 44AD art space in Bath includes free workshops for children - The Bath and Wiltshire Parent In My Element, a new exhibition by artist Natalie Bedford, is currently showing at 44AD in Bath, and features the opportunity for children to sign up for workshops. The new exhibition, which runs until 16 October, is a celebration of Natalie’s love for water and swimming – for sea, quarries, riv...

Finding the Flow with Natalie Bedford, featured in

“My work can end up under the sewing machine or the hose pipe.” Artist Natalie Bedford doesn’t stick to convention and embraces a language of energetic line, texture, and colour. Emma Clegg goes to meet her and discovers a) that she is a dedicated swimmer and b) her exuberant plans for an exhibition with a watery theme.

It’s happening! 5-16th October.

I rarely work with an end insight. I am not working towards a picture that I know what it's going to look like. I have a concept and the theme - the process itself is excitement to see what opens and develops as I work through it. For me, working towards a predicted outcome would be pointless - I am always working and trying to find something new, a new way of communicating a piece of provokes new sort that connects with a different emotion that takes you to a new place.

This is an innovative show (especially for Bath!). An honest reflection not tied to convention.

Come explore, and enjoy.

The fall is bringing me a lot of excitement. Paint, print, video, vibe, atmosphere, and so much energy is being dug up for my newest art collection and exhibition, In My Element.

While the exhibition takes place in a gallery, at 44AD, In My Element is not your typical gallery experience – in fact, I am doing everything in my power as an artist to make the viewer’s experience something entirely different altogether. I can’t wait to show you.

But before that opens at the beginning of October, I have other art being shown elsewhere to keep us both busy…

DATE FOR THE DIARY! Come on a watery journey of exploration though Ionian seas and rough oceans. Let your thoughts dissolve in the rhythm of waves, come swim with the fish and let your imagination surface amongst urchins and coral. Take a dip...
