March's Featured Artist -->Beth Hansen
Born on June 17th 1966, Beth showed an early interest in art which was encouraged by her mother, who was an avid hobby painter, and at the age of seven she began painting in oils with her mother's guidance. Beth has been working with images of faery and myth inspired by nature for the past twelve years. Many of Beth's pieces stem from her love of Celtic and faery mythology, but she's often inspired to create paintings exploring other world myths. In the autumn of 2000 Beth studied Flemish/Dutch oil painting techniques in still life and portraiture in the studio of Jeff Hurinenko in St. Paul, Minnesota, which helped fine-tune her already award winning skills as a painter. Beth blends realism with romance in her oil paintings. Working in layers to achieve luminous skin tones and glowing light effects, she creates magical works inspired by faery lore and mythology. Beth's visionary work has been featured in Seventh House Publishing's "Season's of the Witch" calendars in 2003 and 2004, and she has done numerous illustrations for "Tales of the Unanticipated", a speculative fiction small press publication.
Beth Hansen, painter of faery and myth, has artwork featuring faeries, sprites, dragons, dryads, nature spirits, castle maidens, and woodland encounters in the Faery Blessings, Faery Tales, Myths and Legends, and Nature Spirits. Her realistic romantic oil paintings bring fantasy realms to life.
