Bethan's formal training was in fashion design. After a career in the fashion industry she discovered quilt making as an artistic medium that best expressed her personal vision.

Her work, while based in the tradition of quilt making, has become more akin to collage. Most of her quilts are non-representational, abstractions, spatial relationships and colour are the backbone of her work. She works improvisationally and believes that treating the fabric like paper collage allows for greater design freedom, therefore making it more exciting to create.

Over the last twenty years she has completed many commissions, won International awards for her work and has exhibited extensively, both in group and one-man shows in the UK and Internationally.

Her work can be found in public and private collections and in 2002 her quilt 'Chasing the Dragon' was selected by The Museum of Arts and Design for their textile collection and touring exhibition - 'Six Continents of Quilts'.
