Bio Beth Pederson was born in Fort McMurray, AB and later moved to Leduc, AB in her early teens. As a child, Beth was aware that she wanted to become an artist and would spend countless hours drawing and making things from whatever she could find around her. During her high school art education, she discovered painting which quickly became her medium of choice. She continued to pursue art and completed a Fine Arts Diploma at Grant MacEwan College in 1999. She then transferred to the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design where she received both a BFA (2002) and a BDes (2003). In 2006/07, Beth was the Harcourt House Artist in Residence. During the year-long residency, Beth developed a new body of work using cutout paintings and installation and she continues to explore these ideas in her present work. |
