What Beth created exceeded all my expectations. My art is so beautiful. It brings education, beauty and a richness to my practice that I could never have purchased in prints. She was reasonable, courteous, punctual, and her work speaks for itself. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to commission work and am excited to see what else she makes. The art makes me so happy.

My art is on display at the Arizona Science Center 10/25/25 - 2/16/26
