A Beautiful Rebellion: Large Canvas No. 3 Painting

Beth’s work tells a story of interpersonal dynamics in color, shape, line and texture. She utilizes her materials to create a record of memories as well as a journal of future aspirations. Her own journey consisting of hills and valleys, Beth desires to display a tension of longing, acceptance, conflict and serenity in her work. She sees her work as a language that speaks on her behalf, communicating a history and present reality of the complexities of human relationships. Her desire to influence the future with transparency and vulnerability lends to her effort to leave many of her marks and paint strokes to themselves, allowing and encouraging them to speak. She uses line and color to bring cohesion and connectivity to seemingly unrelated gestures. Beth is highly motivated by process and often finds it difficult to get to the end of a piece. Her interest lies more in the collected moments that lead to an end, much as in relationships that evolve over time.
