Artist Statement:

Drawing inspiration from everyday life, especially popular culture, Beth strives to allow for a personal sense of discovery while imparting her own unique sense of style. Her work derives from realism and tends to utilize imagery to which Beth feels personally connected. Recently she has been exploring the concept of split personality and multiple states of consciousness. Her most recent work explores the juxtaposition of identity and sense of self. In her paintings, Beth works with oils and in her drawings she utilizes an array of different medium (watercolor, colored pencil, graphite, charcoal, etc).
