Beth Matthews was a self-taught “dabbler” in oil and acrylic in her youth. Her move to NS in 2001 awakened a whole new dedication and focus to her art. Inspired by the rugged landscapes of the Atlantic Provinces, she is known for her representational land and seascapes, as well as people and animals. She is the founder of Crossroad Artists, a member of Artscape, and PCAFA. Her work can be seen at www.shopudio.ca.
