BETH HUMPHREY
Beth is an artist working in drawing, painting and sculpture. She makes work about evaporation, respiration, erosion, gravity, gentle and violent forces at a moment of change. She is particularly interested in how these forces influence and shape the human connection to place and the environment, encompassing both built and natural surroundings.
โMy current work is inspired by the infographics from the 1950โs & 60โs encyclopedias that attempted to distill information and inspire curiosity about natural systems, depicting individual parts removed from the whole. These were sanitized, clinical, colorful imagery, removed from the exploitation and rampant destruction of these systems. Working with paper as a ground, building up surfaces with paint, drawing, accident, light and shadows,
I am reimagining components of natural forces inspired by my own sense of awe and wonder around these systems that support us all.โ
Beth comes from a background in art education as a teaching artist and museum educator. In addition to her studio practice, she currently works for D.R.A.W. Kingston NY connecting youth to jobs and opportunities in the arts in the Hudson Valley of New York.
