About Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn Beugh is an interdisciplinary visual artist and herbalist. Her art practice is based in mindfulness and fosters a deeply rooted connection to the land she inhabits. Her work plays on the ephemeral and is created in a flow state.
She lives, works, and plays on the unceded land of the Coast Salish First Nations and extends much gratitude and respect for this privelege.
​
Education
​
She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Arts with a minor in Social Practice and Community Engagement from Emily Carr University of Art and Design, and has a background in social services.
Process
The mediums Beugh uses depends on the intentions she has. Working in nature connected ways, Beugh's aim is to inspire others to connect deeper with the land they are on in their own ways, be it through a creative process or simply by sitting with nature and paying attention to the nuances of the life that surrounds them.
Her practice has a unique combination of foraged and artist grade materials. Her work is often experimental, and not always intended to be archival- it may change as it ages.
Beugh works in a variety of approaches, ranging from small to large scale paintings and drawings, murals, small to large scale sculptures using a variety of materials, fiber arts, illustration, photography, and printmaking.
Like nature itself, Beugh’s work is ever-evolving.
