'What Lies Beyond'
'What Lies Beyond'
Share
Have you ever felt the need to separate happy and joyful emotions from sad, scary, angry ones out of fear that the 'bad' would contaminate the 'good'?
The instinct to compartmentalize your emotions is common and rooted in the desire to preserve your joy and protect it from anything that may be a threat. And while this instinct is completely normal and understandable, what actually happens when you try to put your feelings into neat little boxes is that you end up standing in the way of yourself and how you process emotions; stifling your experience of life.
'What Lies Beyond' gently invites you to create space for all your feelings – even the scary ones. It challenges the notion that difficult emotions contaminate the joyful ones. Instead it sees them as different parts of our human experience, interwoven and part of a greater whole.
By embracing every emotion, you open yourself up to a fuller, more authentic existence. 'What Lies Beyond' encourages you to accept this complexity and is a daily reminder that the more space you allow for every feeling, the more space you also create for support and comfort, leading to a deeper connection to yourself and those around you.
An original acrylic painting, 40 x 30 cm.
The painting has been built, layer by layer, mark by mark, until a beautifully, balanced work of art emerged – deep and complex. This piece is absolutely gorgeous and is a beacon of acceptance and comfort.
Thank you for supporting my work. Creating this art and sharing it with collectors around the world is a deep honor.

Shipping
All original artwork is shipped with a Certificate of Authenticity and then wrapped in multiple layers of acid-free packaging, padded and shipped in a well-fitting sturdy cardboard box or flat mailer.
All art prints are wrapped in protective packaging and shipped in a well-fitting sturdy tube or mailer.
The majority of artwork will be shipped via PostNL. Most domestic packages arrive within 3-5 business days from the time of shipment.
All shipments include tracking and you can choose to have it shipped with insurance. I ALWAYS recommend shipping with insurance, because sometimes life happens!
I love shipping art globally! Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on package weight and distance. Large paintings that are shipped internationally may have to be unstretched and shipped in a tube due to a) safety reasons and b) shipping companies' regulations regarding the maximum size of a package. You can get your painting restretched of course and I'm happy to advise you on that!
International buyers, please note that border fees, handling fees, etc. may be charged based on the destination country. Please contact me via the contact form on the website or email me at BethanyKristineArt@Gmail.com with questions or to receive a shipping estimate. -
Returns
Every order, commission and sale is handled with care and as much clarity and transparency as possible. My goal is for you to be delighted with your purchase! I typically try to stay in contact throughout the process of shipping and handling in order to maintain full transparency and ensure you are completely informed along the way.
Please take time to read descriptions carefully and to check the colors on multiple screens if you are concerned about color variations. I try my best to represent the colors, textures and tones in my work clearly and realistically.
All sales are final. But of course, sometimes life happens. Please email BethanyKristineArt@Gmail.com if there is an issue with your artwork.
If you are concerned about your package getting lost or damaged during delivery you can choose to have it shipped with insurance (I do recommend this. Especially with original paintings and/ or international shipments).
I am not liable for any mishandling or failed delivery by the shipping service and I am not liable for any damage incurred post-delivery. I take great care to package each order safely in sturdy materials with ample support and notice that the package should be handled with care.
