“Art is a lifelong journey. You never know where your path will lead”
As a native Minnesotan, Beth was surrounded by numerous lakes, flora and fauna. It was there that she acquired a profound love for nature and the world around her. Long winters gave her time to develop her creative side. She became a potter and then an accomplished Ukrainian Egg Artist.

In 1986, she and her family moved to the Central Coast of California to enjoy the inspirational views and mild Mediterranean climate.  She continued to pursue her creative path and obtained her Degree in Art from Allan Hancock College, in 2000. She went on to teach art to children for 17 years in the public schools of the Santa Ynez Valley.

In 2007, she became President and Education Director of Town Center Art Gallery in Santa Maria, California. She was an active member of the Los Padres Artist Guild. In 2017, she returned to Allan Hancock College, where she currently is a very successful Art Instructor. She is also an active member of the Lompoc Valley Art Association, Central Coast Watercolor Society and Morro Bay Art Association

You can see her work at the Cypress Gallery, Central Coast Art Gallery, Los Alamos Art Gallery and various local wineries on the Central Coast of California.
