Sepia with a Twist

Open the evening of the 34 Annual Annapolis Art Walk: August 15, 5-9 pm

Featuring painting demonstration by Beth from 6 - 8 pm at the Gallery

Exhibition: Thursday, August 15 - Sunday, September 15, 2024

Pennsylvania artist Beth Bathe's paintings have been described by art critics as "evoking nostalgia, like that of an old sepia-toned photograph, often with just touches of color."

Beth paints primarily en plein air in oil and participates in high-profile competitions from Maine to Washinton State. Her paintings have won numerous awards and honors.
Beth's unique style uses thin washes with a limited tonalist palette. She is highly influenced by noted Pennsylvania artist Andrew Wyeth.
