Beth Rhoades Holland is a self-taught mixed media artist. After experiencing burnout in the staging and design industry, she decided to take an art class. That single class sparked a profound change, and since someday is not a day of the week, it led her to close her staging business and fully embrace her artistic voice.

Beth works on canvas as well as wood panels, using layers of paint, scraps, mementos, games, game parts, and magazines from the 1950s and ’60s. Her art explores the messaging she absorbed as a young girl about what adult life would look like. She pays close attention to what emerges after the first layer of paint, knowing that, much like life, it’s the many layers that create the whole. Her work is about shifting perspectives, transformation, and the choices we make—or don’t make—that shape where we are.
