Beth has worked in collage and printmaking (and the occasional handmade book) for the last twenty years. She started painting in 2017 as a break from attempting to write a novel. A California native, Beth has a degree in art history from Mills College in Oakland. She worked for art dealers in San Francisco in the 1990s, but then abandoned the city for the west coast of Ireland, where she became fascinated by the numinous quality of the landscape there—the same quality that inspires her in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
