Beth Matthews was a self-taught ‘dabbler’ in paints in her youth. Her move to Nova Scotia in 2001 awakened a whole new dedication and focus to painting. Inspired by the Atlantic landscape and shoreline, she is known for her representational land and seascapes, as well as paintings of horses, birds, dogs, cats and people. Getting back to oil painting is a new learning curve. She is the founder of Crossroad Artists, and is a member of the PCAFA.
