The Artist's Message

Welcome to my website! My internet connection to the world! My name is Beth and I am an artist, idea creator, avid re-user and recycler.

Throughout my childhood, I developed an appreciation for the earth, nature and her surroundings. I would often hike for hours collecting everything I thought interesting and would come home with pockets full of nature. Years of artistic expression made it clear that I had to at some point, someday center my life around my passion for artistic expression.

I have been interested in saving and salvaging for art's sake as long as I can remember. I started collecting notebooks full of pictures from home decorating magazines from around age 11. I love creating unique decorating items, especially from vintage items I collect at vintage shops and estate sales.

After raising 4 daughters and more than 29 years in the corporate world, I have finally come full circle into the life I was meant to live. I have a passion for salvaging and saving lovingly used and discarded items and materials. My art focuses on creating or "upcycling" from my salvage collection creating new and unique one-of-a-kind treasures. I am now a professional artist, independent creator and Social Media Manager. I live in Glenshaw PA, just outside of Pittsburgh, with my husband Rob, and I have a full time studio space in my home.

I have been creating art in one way or another since I was a young child. I find my deepest joy when I am playing with color, shape and texture. My mixed media pieces arise from pure creative energy, without any pre-conceived ideas about the outcome I love nature and the peace I feel there, much of this feeling you will see within my journals.

I hope you enjoy your visit thru my website and find something interesting. I can easily be contacted at my email address on the "contact info" page here if you have any questions. I truly appreciate you stopping by and hope to hear from you soon...
