Beth Kluth, Alcohol Ink Artist/Explorer/Instructor

Beth Kluth – Alcohol Ink Artist/Instructor

Nearly ten years ago I made a simple New Year’s resolution: to set aside one hour each week to do something creative.  It completely changed my life.

I was initially drawn to alcohol inks because of the bright, happy colors, but I quickly became addicted to their surprising behavior and beautiful, organic movement. I rarely use a paintbrush, instead pushing and guiding the inks to let them pool, bloom and dry in layers to get the abstract effects I am looking for. Through my art I hope that you will experience the joy I feel when I create. The only thing I love more than creating is teaching others what I’ve learned through experimentation.

Art was one of my favorite classes in school because we were exposed to new mediums and given the opportunity to explore. But I didn’t graduate college with a fine art degree. In fact, I had no idea what I wanted to do. Then life got very busy with work (I ended up in marketing) and a growing family (a wonderful husband and three amazing kids) and creative time was hard to come by.  But when I finally decided to MAKE the time, I rediscovered the joy of creating. I started doing projects with neighbors and friends and somehow ended up doing a workshop at a friend’s gallery. I was petrified but afterward, I had a profound feeling of, “This is what I’m supposed to be doing.” I’ve taught over 400 live workshops since 2015 – sharing this medium with others is really my greatest joy.
