About the Artist
Mrs. Bethany K. Hoskin BDes MFA
Bethany is an international artist, illustrator and designer with a focus on creating narrative portraits for the elite music industry.

She has a Master of Fine Arts degree in Illustration from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California and a Bachelor of Design degree in Visual Communications from the Alberta University of the Arts.

Her paintings are in private collections in Canada, the United States and abroad.
"The real focus of my artwork is the portrayal of music celebrity. It is my passion to examine the persona of the major recording artist through my visual medium and I have created many illustrations in celebration of them. Each album may include portraiture, still life, landscapes and other genres as I tell narrative stories to both reflect what I consider the true personalities of the artists, as well as perhaps bring an entirely new perspective to their story." - Bethany K. Hoskin (aka Bethany Vanderputten)
