“Scrapfish: Sunfish”  (sold)
20″ x 28″

This bright watercolor/cut paper work is a lively example of the “Scrapfish” series. Below is a short mini film about creating this piece:

“This is my first Micro Short Film! It’s a two minute experiment about the making of the cut paper assemblage titled “Sunfish”. Learning to play with the photographic time-lapse feature was creative fun and it’s now my pleasure to share.”
–Beth Appleton

2020 Portrait Series: New 14″ x 11″ cut paper assemblages are now available:
The Portrait Series has been an ongoing theme for this artist since the early 1990’s but the works below depict this pivotal year: 2020. Universally, this year has proved to be one full of roller coaster emotion for most; this body of work was created to tell that story. Twelve works will make up this 2020 series and as soon as they are completed they will be posted here, each month will be represented by the end of the year. These 14″ x 11″ watercolor/cut paper works are available for sale (unless marked below) and individually priced. Please note this does not include shipping and Florida sales tax.
Framing:

All works are created using 100% archival materials. As each piece is completed, it is triple matted in white, protected under UV plexiglass and then presented in a quality white wood frame. The final matted and framed piece measures 14” x 11”. The art work inside the three tiered white matts measures 5” x 8”.

“Stardust” is a cut paper piece that was inspired by December’s Geminid meteor shower. With it, I send out bright wishes for the new year ahead. As the shortest day of the year passed, the sky darken just after sunset to get a view of Jupiter and Saturn align in the west only .1 degree apart. It was a beautiful sight! Keep looking up, friends. Cheers and love!

Just completed! I’m revisiting a monochromatic series of portrait works.

Artist statement:
 When working on a piece this size, I feel as if I am taking a vacation without ever leaving the studio. It makes me happy to know that many people feel transported, too. These pieces evoke iconic themes I have repeated for years yet each  is special, reinvented anew. I only have time to create a few of these pieces a year; the ones you see here are part of a very limited body of work.
Framing:

As each piece is completed, it is triple matted in white, protected under UV plexiglass and then presented in a quality white wood frame. The final matted and framed piece measures 11” x 14”. The art work inside the three tiered white matts measures 5” x 8”.
