“My work reflects my interest in the process of painting, from beginning thoughts through unforeseen outcomes. The ebb and flow of painting reveals what is known, observed, sensed and what is slightly out of reach altogether. Each painting, a reminder that resolution is elusive and paint has its say. To observe, reflect and respond to the nature of paint, subject, and self is this process.” Beth is a recent resident to Maine, having lived more recently in the Philadelphia area.
