Beth Peterson, 1998
You have found your way to the site of an artist! I will take full advantage of that, *wink* and display my work. :-) My gallery has four main sections: ceramics, landscapes, conceptual work, and animals. My 2-D work is representational, although I occasionally meld various elements in ways that you won't find in nature. I am drawn by high contrasts and tend to push the tonal variations within a piece in order to bring the image to its fullest impact. My choices in media varies... you'll find paintings (oils, acrylics and watercolors), drawings, photographs, and ceramics.

But, you won't get off quite so easily. You see, I have a lot I want to talk over with you. I am someone who has been in the trenches, personally but also professionally as a clinical psychologist. Please let me share the insights I have developed. They can save you time, frustration, and in some cases, overwhelming pain. Much of my writing concerns people: interpersonal relationships, mental healthiness, and extreme interpersonal manipulation between individual people and within groups. I call them psychosocial writings because they deal with how we work as individuals, within social relationships, and as a society.

Along with the articles, I also have done (and hope to get the kinks worked out to do more) videos which I've put up on YouTube. Although most of these are on personal growth and extreme manipulation, you'll find a few oddballs up there, too.

I TOLD you they were hedge clippings!
"Added Bonus" features of this website are some of my...uhm...let's call 'em "Hedge Clippings" ...aka Free Clipart!... and the growing compilation of interesting links I have amassed....The links are divided into sections for ease, including art supplies & equipment, museums, art history, ceramic history, and much, much more.


Rainier welcomes you, too.
So Please, come in! Grab a chair (the one by the window is comfy) and a cup of coffee (or tea if you'd rather).

Oh, and don't worry about the dog. She can't shed on you in cyber space
