Bex studied fine art at Northampton University, graduating with a First Class Honours degree in 2002. She has since created numerous art works varying in both size, colour and medium. The principle of her work is experimentation - using a variety of materials ranging from acrylic paint to wax and metals. She explores the materials by manipulating their structure, mark making and applying heat to the surface. These are then applied to the canvas in layers - often a piece will contain 3 to 4 layers of assorted materials. Texture is also integral to her work. She achieves this by combining the layers, textured surfaces and rapid setting substances. The paintings follow a theme of a 'strip' of activity, which is accompanied by blank canvas either side. This creates a sense of harmony, as the strip can often be a frenzy of colour and texture, which is then merged into the frame of the calming, blank canvas.

Her interest in layers and texture stems from her time at art college in 1999. As part of a project labelled 'sequences' she studied the effects of time and the process of creating fossils - comprised of layers and layers of matter. Her interest in this area grew and she developed a fascination with the mystery of 'what lies beneath' and the notion of items being trapped between layers, partially concealed and allowing the viewer to become inquisitive, and look closer at the work.
