About Beth Wheeler:
Beth Wheeler grew up in rural Pennsylvania and attended Saint Francis University. She completed an MA degree in art history at West Virginia University and is currently pursuing an MFA degree in painting at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Having grown up in the woods and mountains, Beth has always held a deep love for nature, and landscape imagery has been the primary subject of her art from a young age. Her paintings depict her interpretations of the places that she personally knows and cherishes.
From the Artist’s Statement:
“Painting landscapes, for me, is about engaging purposefully with the world around me, developing a greater awareness of and appreciation for the places that I live in and travel through. For me, being alone in nature often feels sacred, and painting allows me to process and distill these experiences.”
How To See the Works of Art:
The public is invited to see “QUIET PLACES,” in the M.I.B. GALLERY from 4-8 p.m. on February 12, 18, 19, 25, and 26, and March 4 and 5.
