Beth Melton-Seabrook

 

Raised in the South Carolina Lowcountry, Beth portrays conventional local images upon the unconventional surfaces of salvaged and repurposed materials.  She thrives on combining the unexpected use of ordinary objects with the natural beauty of local scenery and wildlife.
 

Beth began her formal training in the field of art at the College of Charleston in 1982.  She went on to study at Winthrop College with concentrations in painting and pottery.  She spent a year on exchange at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, where she experimented in such diverse areas as glass blowing, enameling, gallery installation, and art therapy.  She received a BA in Psychology with a minor in Fine Arts. Beth’s love of diverse surfaces has been evident over the years.  These unusual “canvases” have included interior and exterior walls, floors, fabric, glass, metal, clay, and furniture.
