Beth M's Studio

Introduction: Since I was very young, I loved to draw. I did my first commissioned art when I was sixteen. A teacher asked me to draw her 4 cartoon scenes of a boy and girl with an old horse. These were pen & ink drawings with watercolor overlay. This teacher was boarding her horse at the same stable where my family had horses. Other boarders saw these drawings and asked me to do portraits of their horses. These horse portraits were seen by other friends and family, that led to many years of commissions. Some clients had me draw their entire family of pets. I attended Montgomery County Community College in Pennsylvania from 1978 to 1979. I did not want to take their art program so I designed my own. Taking all the studio courses that were offered, doubled the art courses that the art major students were taking. My studio also includes my fiber creations. I learned to crochet from Grandmom Werner when I was eight years old. She also inspired my interest in quilting and sewing. For years I have been sewing and crocheting many items. I make items for people, pets and home decor. My new interests are making my own designs and expanding to new subjects for both art and fiber creations.
