Beth Humphrey
Artist Statement
Resume
I am interested in the macro, the micro, the biological and the law of conservation of energy (energy can be neither created nor destroyed; rather it transforms from one form to another). I think about cycles in nature, evaporation, respiration, erosion, gentle and violent forces at a moment of change. In the studio I work with watercolor, casein, spraypaint, collage, paper light and shadow .
Beth lives in the Catskill Mountians with her husband, poet Guy Reed and their two daughters.
