Beth Yazhari (Studio #15)
Mixed media painter Beth Yazhari collects delicate fragments of antique lace and embroidery from different cultures and combines them into intricate compositions that reference both East and West. By rescuing discarded doilies and pieces of folk embroidery and recycling them into her beaded paintings, she intentionally collaborates with the creative spirit of women of the past. Her globally inspired pieces, with their rich detail and intricate symmetry, are sometimes compared to Persian carpets. Yazhari is drawn to themes of spirituality and social justice, and she often incorporates symbols and designs from various faith traditions in her paintings.
Beth will be hosting Keri Bloom (2D Mixed Media, Jewelry)
