About Beth Whitney:
Beth is a full-time watercolor artist specializing in coastal Maine landscapes. She grew up in Ellsworth and has been painting professionally for more than 24 years. Inspiration comes from her love of nature, especially exploring Maine’s many beautiful lighthouses, scenic byways, and coastal trails. There are countless land trusts, preserves, and parks just waiting to be painted! She loves how watercolor’s transparent qualities produce incredibly vivid, highly detailed, and subtle tonal changes. Maine has a very particular quality of light, a freshness in its pristine landscape. Watercolor is the perfect medium to translate this to paper. She believes it’s about timing, patience, and enjoying the unexpected. Add a few drops of water, a little salt, tip your board, and everything changes! It’s so dynamic – just like nature.
