Bessie-Mae

Bessie-Mae is an emerging multidisciplinary artist based in the United Kingdom, known for her emotive exploration of personal history, identity, and memory. Drawing from her multicultural heritage, Bessie-Mae’s work blends traditional techniques with contemporary media, including painting, digital collage, spoken word, and installation. Her vibrant, often dreamlike pieces confront themes of belonging and transformation, bridging the gap between the intimate and the collective experience.

Since graduating from Goldsmiths, University of London, Bessie-Mae has exhibited widely in group and solo shows across the UK and Europe, earning recognition for her ability to capture nuanced emotional landscapes. Her practice is informed by both academic research and lived experience, engaging audiences in conversations about migration, generational trauma, and the evolving nature of self. Through bold colour palettes and layered symbolism, Bessie-Mae asserts her voice as part of a new generation redefining British contemporary art.
