Beth Ha

Born to create, I have been playing with clay since I was five and would spend countless hours in the backyard digging it up, mixing it with water, and decorating it with flowers. After that, all paths led back to art, and those around me recognized my passion long before I would claim it. I formally launched an art career in 2009 when I noticed that the students in my children’s classes slowly lost color and emphasis in their art, going from full color, edge to edge drawing in kindergarten to barely visible pencil drawings in 5th grade. Art is a path to our souls; it expresses our inner works, brings us peace, and helps us connect to others. I invite you to join me on this amazing journey. My education includes degrees in Sociology and Art, and I will begin a master’s degree in art therapy this fall. In my spare time, I love to read, camp, and spend time with my family.
