There are a couple of things Ange Beever loves above all else. \u201cIf I had to lose my house and run out with a few things, I would take my art collection and vinyl collection,\u201d says the Toronto-based artist.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beever\u2019s love of art is now showcased in her latest business endeavor, BVR ART<\/a>, a website dedicated to her absurdist creations. Beever is among the many Canadian artists and small-business owners who used the ShopHERE Powered By Google Program.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Digital<\/p>\n

ShopHERE is a government-funded initiative that aims to bring small-business owners online amid the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. And it\u2019s free.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI find inspiration in pop culture, nostalgia, just everyday items. I keep a list of things I feel will be fun to paint. I have a bank of images \u2013 I did a commission for a friend that was based on a painting she got as a teen and now she asked me to reinvent it as a gift to her kid,\u201d Beever says.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Beever\u2019s repurposing of old items into something new is predicated on the Dada art movement. Dadaism flourished in Europe during the early 1900s. The movement sought to critique the aestheticism and logic of capitalist Europe through art that defied logic and reason. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Digital<\/p>\n

\u201cMarcel Duchamp was one of the main players in the Dada movement and I\u2019ve always been inspired by his work with ready-mades. The Dadas were doing these things, rethinking the world around them,\u201d Beever says. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Beever takes old items, often from thrift shops, and reimagines them. \u201cI\u2019m just trying to take stuff that already exists and breathe new life into it \u2013 I cover something up and make it new,\u201d she says. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both Beever and her wife are artists. Beever points out it can be challenging for both of them to work in today\u2019s gig economy where work comes from an assortment of creative industries. \u201cWe take on work that comes our way. We were doing retail shows and pop ups prior to the pandemic,\u201d she says. \u00a0<\/p>\n

However, due to the pandemic, many of these brick-and-mortar shows have either shuttered or faced a significant drop in foot traffic.\u00a0\u201cShows are cancelled, theatre is not happening, and the television industry is very slowly starting to get back,\u201d Beever says. \u00a0\u201cI had an art show last year in June \u2013 my show sold 22 pieces. I\u2019m just figuring out right now how to do an art show this year,\u201d Beever says. In the meantime, her hope is to use BVR ART\u2019s online presence to draw in prospective art buyers. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Digital<\/p>\n

And for that, Beever\u2019s grateful she took the leap and joined the ShopHERE Program to create a viable eCommerce platform with Shopify.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI think the ShopHERE Program is great. I think it\u2019s good for people who are creative\/maker types. There was some technical stuff that the ShopHERE people were very good at articulating and explaining. Learning all that was a tremendous timesaver,\u201d Beever says.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Going forward, Beever says an online storefront will be a part of her narrative as a contemporary artist. \u201cIt was an amazing jumpstart to get myself going on a website dedicated to my art. The support was super helpful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
