Her themes include antique doors, landscapes and textured abstracts, and her style sees her using unconventional techniques to create artwork. She uses materials such as stucco putty, wood shavings, foil, sand, fruit net, bandages, eggshells with modelling paste and even emergency blankets, for elevation. "It brings depth and story to my art," she says.

She is also a successful international makeup artist and has worked with many luxury brands and celebrities, from 2016. In 2023, she came full circle when she decided to pursue a career in art and created her brand, Art By Beta. Beta's art explores human experience through a spiritual lens: it weaves together themes of transformation, resilience, and connection.

"Landscapes capture the vastness of existence, reflecting the soul's journey through Nature's ever-changing beauty," she says.

Antique doors symbolise passage, mystery, and the unseen opportunities that life presents, reminding us that each threshold holds a lesson, while the collection's textured abstract pieces crafted from recycled materials, breathe fresh life into forgotten elements. "It emphasises renewal and the interconnectedness of all things," Beta emphasises. Her works also include pictures on koi fish, mandalas, and textured abstracts. Through them, viewers are invited to contemplate their own paths, embrace change, "and find harmony in the unfolding tapestry of life."
