About the Artist
Each person is an artist of their own life. ~ beth vendryes williams
Reflection amidst sheltering in place.
Since the last time I spoke with you, life, as we have experienced it, has changed. I offer solace, hope, and prayers for you. I am finding a lot to think about as I work in my little studio.
who is beth vendryes williams?
Raised in Locust Valley, New York, beth vendryes williams attended Nazareth College. She was inspired to engage with a comprehensive concept, initiated by creating handmade paper, then photo etchings and letterpress prints of original poetry by her close friend (later to become her husband). The resulting hand bound book merges her artistry, love of handcrafted images and words with her everyday life and love.
After earning her U. of Iowa graduate degree in Drawing/printmaking, she continued to plumb her life experiences for inspiration, supported by two NYC grants for her exhibit and compilation of “Portrait of the city through a Neighborhood”. In 1989, she began teaching art, developing her own curriculum, incorporating art history & creative habits, which meant students created yearly journals and individual portfolios.
“You can be an artist with the material of your life,” is distinctly characteristic of beth’s creative process. It connects her life with making marks that are transformative.
