Beth Anna’s pastel drawings feature many elements that speak to her personality: vivid colors, elements of nature, and inventive patterns are only some of them. Trees and leaves, shades of green and yellow meet with her vision that complements her prolific artistry. Her lines are expressive and full of movement, making her subjects truly ever interesting and lively.
Also on display will be Beth Anna’s new book which includes excerpts of her poetry and paintings from her previous book, “Uplifted Down Syndrome,” along with new essays, poems, and artwork never seen before. Overall, these works shed light on Beth Anna’s creativity and kindness, and her inherent power.
As Beth Anna says: "My experiences motivate my art, which I love. I want people to see that. I hope people will respect me for my talents. That is true for me and for other people with Down Syndrome. I can be anything I want. That's power." (cit.)
