About the Artist

Beth Borchers is overall a self-learned artist. She currently resides in Kettering, Ohio with her beloved companion, Gracie, the rescue dog.Her first memory of artistic expression was in kindergarten when she made a cross and painted it purple for her Pioneer Wagon (a woodpile) at home. No one around her understood her vision, but she was committed to her purpose and instincts even then.She adjusted to her unfortunate childhood by escaping into nature; ankle deep in the creek, where she found crawdads, frogs, solace and joy.Her high school had an extensive art program where she jumped in fully committed to trying everything offered. Her favorites were painting (oil especially), pencil sketches, metal casting and pottery. She got straight A’s and was the teacher’s favorite student.At a certain point, her resistance to being “normal” morphed into a solid sense of identifying as an artist that not everyone will like or understand, but she promises her intention is to spread peace, love, and connection into a world that needs these things so badly.Because she took the long meandering road here... her only gallery shows, awards and special recognitions are living in her imagination for some time in the future. She invites you to be a part of her amazing adventure!
