Welcome Featured Artist Beth Sheridan

Artist Statement

"In 2016 I was diagnosed with a genetic immunodeficiency related to Bubble Boy Syndrome, called Common Variable Immunodeficiency. Though happy to have an answer to my life-long struggle with illnesses, injuries and arthritis it also means that I now must replace my immune system with an infusion of blood-plasma antibodies every few weeks to stay healthy. Much of my landscape work seeks to tell the story of calmness and serenity as I envision it while allowing me to photograph in an environment that is safe for my immune system. My photography provides me with meditative healing through affording me a creative and contemplative outlet for the stressors of daily life. My goal for my art is to ultimately bring the mission of restoration and healing to others. I want people who view my art to also find that art can be healing for them as well – be it through the enhancement of their environment, the story it tells or inspiration to be creative themselves."
