This Saturday – Meet Beth Sotherden! Beth is a popular art instructor at the Salmon River Fine Arts Center and loves sharing her ideas and techniques with other artists. Beth enjoys working in and experimenting with a variety of mediums, materials and processes. Her work is best described as intuitive painting, where the expression “becomes a dance and conversation between myself and the painting.” She says “since I was young, I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t creating something--drawing, painting, crafting, gardening and poetry projects.”
While pursuing art at Syracuse University Beth found her artistic voice and vision in a class called Materials and Techniques, where she learned to paint in layers, experiment with textures, and allow the painting to reveal itself. She followed her dream to become a full-time artist joining several art organizations and exhibiting regularly in group shows as well as some solo exhibitions. Come see some of her creations that she has made to share with you for the holidays!
