I'm Beata Kano — artist, teacher, and the creative force behind BK Firefly Designs. Like a firefly, I believe art has the power to illuminate even the darkest corners, bringing light, colour and hope where it's needed most.
Based in Berkshire, I work with people across the UK and online to help them connect with colour, tell their story on canvas, and discover that art is not about talent — it's about truth.
My Sip & Paint events have brought laughter and life to hen parties and boardrooms alike. My trauma healing sessions hold space for the deepest kind of courage. And my portrait and caricature work has captured hundreds of faces at weddings, festivals and private commissions.
Whatever brings you here — I'm so glad you came.
Every session is shaped by the people in the room. Here's what some of them shared afterwards.
"I came to the trauma healing session not knowing what to expect. I left feeling like something heavy had lifted. I've never painted before in my life — and I made something beautiful."
"Beata ran our hen party Sip & Paint and it was the highlight of the whole weekend. Hilarious, relaxed, and everyone went home with a painting they were actually proud of!"
"Having a live caricaturist at our wedding was such a talking point. Guests were queuing up and the portraits were genuinely brilliant — funny but flattering. Beata was a joy to work with."
"Our corporate team building session with Beata broke down every barrier. People who said 'I can't draw' were laughing and proud of their work by the end. Highly recommended."
"The online portrait course was detailed, inspiring and so well-paced. I had always wanted to paint faces. Now I actually can. Beata is a natural teacher."
"I commissioned an oil portrait of my mother as a birthday gift. Beata captured her perfectly — the likeness, the warmth, the personality. It brought my mum to tears. Priceless."
Every experience is priced to be accessible. Bespoke quotes available for large events and corporate bookings.
