Beverly Fettig
One of Global Creations' first and most famous artists, Beverly Fettig splits her time between the North Shore and Spain. Her rich paintings reflect the lushness of her surrounds honed by taking a palette knife to her oil paintings. Which, Beverly says, is as natural as putting peanut butter on bread. Her oil paintings brilliantly capture the flavor of the rustic North Shore town of Haleiwa, which has been her home for more than thirty years. Beverly prefers oils to other mediums such as acrylics because she likes their earthy look and feels they give her better control. The majority of her paintings are done entirely with a palette knife and often completed while the oils are still wet. Her paintings have been purchased by businesses throughout Hawaii and the Pacific including the Bank of Hawaii and United Airlines. Collecting a Beverly Fettig truly brings paradise home.
