My Hobbies
Art is my main interest, but I also play classical guitar, love archery, and was a former gymnast, actress, model, and
dancer. I volunteer at the Montgomery Zoo as an Education Docent teaching and spreading my passion about animals and wildlife
preservation with others.
Beth P. is an Alabama artist from the capital city of Montgomery. From a young age
she has been exposed to and studied art. She says she's always had God's good graces in the support of other people to continue
to study and produce artworks. Her most influential instructor was Mr. Jim Gunter another, well-known, local artist
and former member of the Montgomery Art Guild. He would leave a lasting artistic impression on her and nuture her desire to
teach art herself one day.
Beth is currently attending Auburn University of Montgomery,
after having spent two years at the University of Montevallo. She plans on getting her Bachelor's Degree in Studio Art -Painting
and following up with achieving her Master's Degree in Art Education. She has always been ready and willing to help teach
others to open up to their artistic side and she shares not only her own fine art but also crafts with others. She has been
known to volunteer during Zoo Camps and instruct and help young children in creating different environmental based artworks
and she volunteers off and on at the local
museum's FLIMP Festival either face painting or doing sidewalk chalk art or
helping others make take home crafts.
While Beth enjoies helping others and creating all
types of artwork, she is best known as a wildlife artist. She gets most of her images from photographs she takes around the
local zoo where she handles education animals like hawks, snakes, and owls. She has a passion for wildlife and wildlife/environmental
education. This passion shows through in her wildlife artwork.
