Statement of Work
Beth Cumbo
Artist statement:
My Art comes from deep within…
Such a vulnerable place, it makes me shy
It is to me, as it is to:
A songwriter, whom composes a tune
A chef, who combines the perfect blend of taste
An Athlete, whom pushes beyond endurance, into “the zone”
An Author, who spills words onto a blank page
A dancer, whom synchronizes with an emotion
My art flows from a combination of:
Love, inspiration and music too
Moods, intuition, buried memories
A life long affair with lines
A fierce competition with only myself
Meditation and creation, a labored birth
I make mistakes and forgive myself.
I share with you… a piece of me.

Artist Biography
Beth Cumbo is a self-studied fine artist who works with a variety of mediums on canvas, paper and board. She continues to refine her skills through regimented training in workshops, experimentation and an intense study of art history and instructional material. Beth has traveled to Traverse City, MI and to Sedona, AZ to attend well-known artists’ workshops such as Royce Roland and Jeanne Carbonetti. She’s developed her own personal style over the last decade.
The influence of watercolor studies consistently shows in her work with the fluidity, grace of motion and color. In particular, her work returns to the female form, whether through her daughters or a representation of feminine genre. Beth finds it a powerful subject to display the subtle mysteries of wisdom and female intuition. Also, her love of nature is prominent and compelling in many interpretations of landscapes and florals.
Beth Cumbo’s talents and interests have expanded to illustrating and writing children’s books and is currently working on a new release called, Slow Down Mr. Dodo Man to be published in 2013.
