Beth began painting large oils in Woodstock, NY then continued painting while living in Paris, France with her husband and two daughters. During this period, she worked and painted with an international group of women artists. One of her oil paintings was selected to be exhibited in a show at the Grande Palais in Paris!

After returning to the U.S., Beth focused on clay sculptures and experimented in other mediums such as wax, plastic, papier-mache’, etc. Soon she was sculpting in stone under the tutelage of Nate Goldfarb, Don Saco, Marshall Boris, Leslie Door, Betsy Burt and Joan Hagen. Distinctive wood pieces evolved from driftwood collected during family sailing trips. These wood pieces have a special spirit that guides and often dictates what will be the finished work. Continuing full circle, after a series of workshops with Paul Lucchesi in Alexandria, Virginia, the creativity and flexibility of clay was reinforced.

Beth has demonstrated and taught sculpture locally for community groups such as AAUW, SACIA, Stamford Festival of the Arts, YWCA, the Children’s Creative Workshop, the Bartlett Arboretum and in New Canaan’s Art in the Windows event. She has been a member of CAPP, the Community Arts Partnership Program of Stamford which distributes public funding to non-profit arts organizations. Also, she worked for the city of Stamford Coliseum Authority for 5 years where local tourism funds were allocated to eligible, non-profit performing and visual arts groups through the Mayor’s office.

She is a member and exhibitor at the New Canaan Society for the Arts and the Stamford Art Association where she was a board member and President for many years. Also, for twenty years, she was a member of the Uncommon Chiselers, a group of professional women sculptors. They exhibited together in galleries all over Fairfield and Westchester counties, including Waveny Art Barn, Stamford Historical Society, Stamford Museum, PepsiCo Headquarters and the Hammond Museum in N.Y.

Local galleries that have shown Beth’s work recently are the Stamford branch of the University of Connecticut, Soundwaters, Labriola Gallery, Stamford Art Association, New Canaan Society of Arts, Images of Old Greenwich, Our World Gallery, Stamford Yacht Club Benefit for the Stamford Sailing Foundation, Stamford Bartlett Arboretum and the P.S. Gallery in Litchfield, Ct. An otter sculpture was auctioned at a benefit for the Stamford Museum and Nature Center, and three other requested donations were given to the Bartlett Arboretum, the Weston Weir Farm and the New Canaan Inn. Beth has won numerous awards for her sculpture and paintings in Stamford, New Canaan, Old Greenwich and Greenwich art shows. Her works are in private and corporate collections, both here and abroad.
