Bette-Belle Blanchard (b. Watford, 1995)  is a multi-disciplinary artist living and working between London and West Berkshire.  

With a background in Illustration, her work delves deep into the concept of storytelling, unravelling and excavating the self while simultaneously connecting with others through shared experiences of growth and transformation. 

Her research interests include memory, cultural identity, the female experience, and our relationships to our homes, and these are portrayed through a variety of mediums from drawing and painting to ceramics and printmaking.
