Beth Borchers
Painting
Bio: 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!
Artist Statement: It’s been fun,” is what I love to say about hopefully most everything. Life is not to be taken too seriously because when you do, well... it gets serious. I had my share of seriousness growing up, it cost me my childhood. Something I don’t share lightly.
I spent years unraveling the pain and confusion of it all. You can look deeply into my paintings to see glimpses into that.
Now after deep intentional work... it’s all about love; self-love, love for others, love of nature, love of creating from a place of wholeness, sharing the energy of love and connection. Add a passion for trees, animals, the four elements, Spirit, intention, heart and ancient wisdom and you have the me that confidently creates now.
I believe wholeheartedly in magic. Sounds like I am coming back around to what I had hoped to learn in kindergarten.
While I do have some paintings still available, today I create sculptures: Spirit sculptures. Spirit guides me... spirit inspires me... spirit speaks through me, and if you find connection to any particular piece... Spirit can do the same for you.
Please reach out with your questions or requests and let’s see what we can co-create.
