Beth Meadows creates mixed media drawings and paintings on wood that connect her life in East Tennessee to an aspirational life inspired by contemporary fashion and interior design. Her compositions mix saturated colors with meticulous details, pulling style inspiration from children's books, cartoons, and 8-bit video games. Using her distinctive style, Beth weaves elements of drama, comedy, eeriness and whimsy into her subject matter to illustrate the dissonance between reality and longing and the effects this gap has on our relationships with self and others.
