Beth Gatza is a professional artist working out of her art studio in Los Angeles since 2010. Beth enjoys painting in oil the unique perspectives of women. Beth Gatza is also full-time art faculty at Sierra Canyon Private School. Work by Beth Gatza is currently being exhibited in private collections, and television and film collections. Commission pieces, public speeches, and private art classes are available.
"I paint women because I cannot think of a more interesting, captivating and mysterious subject to paint. Each woman holds a lifetime of stories in her image, and a lineage that has led to her story".
