Born and raised in Minnesota, Bethany is a sculptor, working primarily in stone, for whom drawing and painting form an integral part of her creative process. She holds a BA in sculpture (’03) from the University of Dallas, and she is a 2019 graduate from the drawing and painting program at the Florence Academy of Art (Jersey City location). Bethany currently works both in the Charlottesville and DC areas where she works on commissions in stone and as well as teaches stone carving classes.
