Bethany Perry
​
Multidisciplinary artist | Body-based impressionist | Sensory-led creative
Based between West Berkshire & London
​
Bethany Perry is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice centres on tactile impression-making as a form of embodied storytelling, emotional grounding, and sensory connection. Working with the human form and meaningful personal materials, she creates artworks that preserve moments of presence, self-recognition, and care.
​
Her process is deeply collaborative and sensory-aware, rooted in the calming, regulating effects of deep pressure stimulation—a tactile experience known to support the nervous system and bring people back into connection with their bodies. These impressions become beautiful and useful objects: part play, part record, part quiet affirmation. They offer a moment to pause, centre, and reconnect with the self in a world that often pulls us away from our own truth.
​
Bethany’s work explores themes of embodiment, self-worth, and feminine presence, with a particular emphasis on redefining beauty. After years immersed in the makeup and fashion industries, worlds saturated with externalised, often unattainable ideals, her practice now honours a beauty that is raw, unfiltered, and deeply felt. It is honest and grounded, found in touch, and in the quiet courage of being seen as we truly are.
​
With a background in fashion illustration and makeup artistry, Bethany has worked with iconic names including Vivienne Westwood, Kansai Yamamoto, GQ, RIMMEL London, and Puma. Her shift toward body-based work emerged from a personal need to slow down and create from within—drawing from her experience in the performance world and a longstanding curiosity about the emotional landscape of the body.
​
Her one-to-one impression sessions are intimate and grounding, gently guiding participants to honour their lived stories through physical mark-making. Using materials such as gold leaf, coloured foils, resin, and paint, she transforms these raw impressions into tactile, evocative pieces that celebrate presence, vulnerability, and the marks we leave behind.
​
Bethany exhibits regularly across the UK, including at The Curtain Club at Mondrian, Wimbledon Art Studios, Nova Fine Art, and the Every Woman Biennial. Her work has also featured at the Affordable Art Fair (Battersea and Hampstead). Alongside her studio practice, she facilitates creative workshops for women in London and West Berkshire, focusing on embodiment, self-connection, and creative expression through touch and form.
​
“This practice is about pausing, noticing, and celebrating the imprint of being—whether through a body, a gesture, or a quiet moment of return. It’s a way of grounding, gaining perspective, and honouring the beauty of what already is. True empowerment begins when we feel safe to take up space and fully inhabit our presence.”
