Hello, I’m Beth.

For twenty-eight years, I worked in education. The last two years—in an elementary art room—changed what I wanted my days to look like.

My mother, Linda, found her love of art after retiring from education, too. I sometimes joined lessons at Linda’s Art Studio in Nashville, Georgia, without imagining that I would one day follow a similar path.

After losing my husband, John, I moved from school leadership into the art classroom. There was paint to spill, clay to shape, and a room full of children who reminded me how much joy there could be in making something.

I live in downtown Macon, Georgia, where I write, make art, visit my favorite coffee shops and restaurants, and spoil my dog, Sir Charles. I’m also planning a return to South Georgia, where my family roots run deep.
