Beth Owen is a self-taught artist who is completely captivated by the beauty and versatility of transparent watercolor. She paints in a realistic style that emphasizes color, light, and atmosphere, creating work that is both vibrant and luminous. Beth enjoys exploring a wide variety of subject matter, always looking for those moments when sunlight catches an ordinary object or a color combination demands to be painted. Some of her favorite subjects are those found right here in our lovely Pacific Northwest.

Beth teaches watercolor classes at her studio in Washington state, where she enjoys helping students discover the unique possibilities of the medium. She finds great joy in the process of carefully planning each painting and then building it layer by layer with transparent watercolor washes to create rich, glowing color.

Her paintings are held in private collections throughout the Puget Sound region. She is a Signature Member of the Northwest Watercolor Society as well as the Peninsula Art League.

Through both her artwork and her teaching, she hopes to inspire others to see the beauty in everyday life and to appreciate the expressive possibilities of watercolor.
