Young At Heart, A Bethany Linz Collection

Bethany Linz’s new collection, Young At Heart, was influenced by her experiences of viewing the world as her child does. Having established herself in fine arts and textiles, the birth of her son prompted her to take on a new project. The simple yet vibrant colors and patterns of children’s items drew her in as she spent time in their environment. Upon observing the items that consistently captured her son Noah’s and her niece Sophie’s attention, Bethany began to craft a collection that aimed to not only entertain children but also gain the respect and admiration of adults. Additionally, she delved into experimenting with new and fascinating artistic techniques.

As a hallmark of Bethany’s artistic expression, the beautifully hand-painted art remains a central feature. After meticulously hand-painting each element, she proceeded to cut them out and assemble them into a collage. This meticulous process resulted in a visually captivating 3-dimensional overlapping effect. Next, let’s explore and discover the treasures that the Young At Heart Collection has to unfold.
