Beth S. Goldberg
Fine Art · Mixed Media · Cubism · Watercolor
“My art is a reflection of my inner thoughts and feelings in reaction to nature, music and world events. My work is characterized by its bold use of color and dynamic composition — I imbue each piece with a sense of movement and energy. I invite you to join me in exploring these images, and to consider new perspectives and ideas.”
Beth S. Goldberg is a native of New York and resident of Connecticut whose work spans abstract expressionism, cubism, surrealism, watercolor, collage, and mixed media. She experiments with acrylic, watercolor, and collage to create images that are both aesthetically bold and emotionally evocative.
A recipient of the George M. Estabrook Distinguished Alumni Award from Hofstra University, the Grumbacher Medallion, and the Julia Cohn Award of Creativity, she has also been honored as “Woman of Distinction in the Arts” by the Town of Oyster Bay. Beth has lectured at universities, led workshops, and consulted as an art therapist.
She is a past President of the New York State Association of the National League of American Pen Women. Her paintings are held in prestigious corporate and private collections. Beth is represented by IMG Consulting for licensing and exhibition inquiries.
