Beth Prindle’s rediscovery of art began with Covid. Six months before the lockdown, she had returned from 30 years in the Pacific Northwest to live in her home state of Ohio, where she had earned a BA in Design at Kent State. A new home with studio space was key, but so was the fact that garage sales and outdoor flea markets continued business as usual. Collecting, as often happens after a loss, turned into an informal, self-directed art therapy; then, into something bigger. After a year of building assemblages, she began showing her work and has since been accepted into many juried exhibitions. Her work has been shown at The Zanesville Museum of Art, the Erie (PA) Museum of Art, and the Butler Institute of American Art, as well as other institutions across the region.
