Beth Zink is best known for her colorful, bright images of desert plants that span the entire canvas. Indeed, her name has become synonymous with color and the desert, and it’s what attracts people the world over to her energetic depictions of the Southwest.
Beth grew up in Rhode Island, where she she studied art in all of its various forms. When she moved out West in the 80s, she was instantly captivated by the cacti and Arizona sunsets––it was unlike anything she’d ever experienced before. One day tired of painting with traditional colors, she picked up a tube of orange and began experimenting. Now, decades later, Beth still loves experimenting with a bold color palette and capturing the natural beauty of the desert.
