Beth Goldston - October 5- October 31, 2007 SKY Art Gallery , voted BEST Art Gallery in the Pilot's Best of Moore Awards, is located at 602 Magnolia Drive, across from Sears. On Friday, October 5th SKY ART GALLERY & Photo Studio will host an opening reception for Beth Goldston

While traveling in Ireland with her family this summer, the images of rugged, mist shrouded coastlines, windblown wildflowers, azure seas, and the weathered forms of ancient mountains and hillsides covered with patchwork fields, inspired landscape painter Beth Goldston. Her responses to the coast of Ireland join an ongoing series depicting our coastal marshes, boats, and marinas in different seasons. The collection of paintings illustrates the subtle variations in two landscapes that have been shaped differently by time, the elements, and use. Her mastery of expression and light draws you into the painting and fills you with a sense of continuity and well-being. On Friday, October 5, 2007, SKY Art Gallery & West 23rd Street Photography will host an opening reception for Beth, from 6-8 p.m. Refreshments will be served and the public is invited. Her show, “Cross Currents: Exploring Two Coasts”, feature pastels and oil paintings of Ireland and North Carolina. It will hang at SKY through the month of October. Currently residing near Pittsboro, Beth has shown and taught extensively in North Carolina, and all up and down the east coast, from New York City to Florida. She has won numerous awards, including an award in 2002 from the Arts Council of Moore County. Beth graduated with a B. A. in Art from Meredith College in Raleigh. She has also studied art at UNC Greensboro, UNC Asheville, and the Greenville County Museum School of Art in Greenville, SC. Beth has taught art on the high school and college level for over 25 years and has led workshops in watercolor and other mediums at several art centers around the state. She is a former member of the Board of Directors of the Watercolor Society of North Carolina and Member of Excellence of the Southeastern Pastel Society. She also belongs to the Chatham County Arts Council, and the Triangle Land Conservancy. She says, “My work speaks of my reverence for the land, and I hope it will make an eloquent, lasting statement about where I live, and what I live for”.
