Drawn to handcrafted items early on, Beth values attention to detail and the unique expression of an artist’s voice. She stared her journey as a creative outlet outside of her fast-paced, intense professional world. It was and remains a way to play and have fun! Fast forward several years, many workshops and hours in the studio, Beth found a passion for teaching. She loves introducing new students to the delight of metalsmithing, creating work they are proud to wear. Her work in sterling silver, gold, enamels and copper is frequently embellished with pebbles picked up from her travels to the beaches of North Carolina, Italy, and Lake Superior. Her work has been exhibited in juried art shows, sold at regional and local shows and at the Art Gallery on Pendleton Square in Pendleton, South Carolina. Beth lives in Anderson, South Carolina with her husband, who keeps trying to retire, and their 75lb Golden Retriever “lap dog”, Hannah.
