Artist Biographies

MARY BETH ZEITZ

Medieval and Victorian styles of art, including the decorative arts, are predominant influences in Mary Beth Zeitz' watercolor paintings. Working with highly detailed subject matter, she incorporates a dark jewel-toned palette and spectrum of antique texture, similar to the capital letter beginning a sheet of medieval calligraphy. Primarily self-taught, those influences and techniques are clearly in evidence in her halcyon celestial images which also include a more contemporary shade of caprice.

Born in Louisville, Kentucky and raised in Delaware, Zeitz received her degree in French from the University of Delaware and, in addition, studied art and other diverse subjects at the Universit‚ de Montpellier while living in the south of France. Currently a senior graphic designer for a major compact disc and cassette manufacturer in Philadelphia, the artist has traveled extensively throughout Europe, pursuing the influences of her travels in her painting.
