Beth Radic is a Scottish artist based in Ayrshire. She studied Fine Art at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee – obtaining a First Class Honours Degree. Beth’s work centres around her experiences as a recently diagnosed autistic woman, exploring themes of identity and masking while also looking retrospectively into her childhood experiences.
Beth was an active performer in the First Prize, award-winning Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2020: M. Lohrum’s You are It. Since graduating in 2022 , Beth was highly commended for a joint application with Dr. Helen Gorrill to Dundee University’s Honorary Graduates Award for Inclusive Practice 23/24 for founding and directing the Official Spectrum Society at the University of Dundee. This is a group aiding in the inclusion of neurodivergent artists within the university. Beth received the Boom Graduates Neurodiversity Award for her dissertation exploring autism within the art industry, which has been published and is available to buy on Amazon.
Beth’s most recent exhibition was the RSA New Contemporaries 2024, where her degree show work was selected and exhibited alongside other recent graduates:
“As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and a newly diagnosed autistic woman, Beth is exhibiting work which centres around revisiting her childhood experiences through a new lens and highlighting the present impact that her past experiences and autism has on her.”
