Beth's Story
MASSACHUSETTS COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN
In 1998, I began studies at Mass College of Art and Design. In 2003 I graduated summa cum laude with a dual degree in art history and painting. After graduating, I was the director of a non-profit gallery. I devised and executed a plan for rehab and preparation for opening to the public and we held art exhibits featuring emerging artists and hosted open mic nights and performances.
In 2008-2009 I studied digital media and specialized in audio and video editing. I then took my skills to Cambridge Community Television where I continued training as a cameraperson, lighting and audio technician. Since 2009 I have produced and/or collaborated on many projects such as short documentaries, educational and promotional pieces, dramatic works, music videos, interviews and a wide variety of local events.
I paint at my studio in The Distillery, a large artist building in South Boston.

WHERE I LIVE
I live at the Cambridge Zen Center, the largest residential buddhist community in the US where I was the head dharma teacher for three years.
HAPPINESS
What makes me happiest? All types of learning. The community I live in. And making, teaching and discussing all types of art.
WILD (?) HIGH SCHOOL DAYS........Expand for more
.
I would be shocked if anyone said they remember me as being wild in high school. I went to parochial school at St. Charles until 9th grade and we had to wear uniforms. My sense of style was focused on figuring out how far above my knees I could get away with wearing my skirts. By senior year I was breaking the dress code by wearing jeans and t-shirts to school, supposedly a major infraction that no-one seemed to even notice.
I didn't care much for drinking. In my first year at WHS I was pretty much just trying to figure out how to get from one end of that place to the other. I guess staying out late was my favorite rule to break.
