Fremantle Design Week 2026

Betty Poulsen is a Walyalup-based artist originally from the UK, working primarily in painting and drawing. Her practice is rooted in the emotional landscapes of domestic life, where everyday objects—chairs, vessels, talismans, heirlooms and family mementos—serve as symbols of memory, identity and connection.

Betty’s portraits and still lifes are intimate and often set within her home, reflecting the close relationships and spaces that shape her world. Repetition plays a key role in her process, with familiar subjects reappearing as part of an ongoing exploration of unresolved emotions and quiet rituals. Informed by her background in textiles, jewellery and ceramics, Betty’s work is tactile and deeply personal. Through this multidisciplinary approach, she transforms the overlooked and discarded into powerful vessels of meaning, exploring how the domestic can speak to universal human experience.
