Kaye Bel-Cher has been painting for around 30 years, without any formal training other than college and scattered classes along the way. She did not see herself as an artist until the age of 40, when an interest in Jungian psychology expanded her understanding of art as an expression of self. This led to a series she calls Metamorphic Resonances, a term inspired by philosopher Rupert Sheldrake, where she felt free to experiment with new styles. Abstract painting has always provided a way of breaking through barriers.

Her early influences included Kandinsky and O’Keeffe, and more recently Klee and Miró. Eclectic by nature, Kaye describes her process as tribal, symbolic, shamanic, and archetypal. She is inspired by the diversity of landscape and nature, and the changing weather that offers a wide range of colour and creative energy. Kaye currently works from her home-based gallery.
