Räla: New Work by Beth Meadows
Category: Exhibitions, visual art
Historic Preservation Influences Artist’s Latest Work.
Beth Meadows is an artist who lives and works in Knoxville, TN. Her main medium is, but not limited to, acrylic on canvas. The pieces she has made for Rala are influenced by her position as the architectural salvage coordinator for the non-profit Knox Heritage. Beth re-uses old building materials in her work to promote the importance of historic preservation, and donates a portion of the proceeds of work sold to Knox Heritage. Her subject matter is inspired mostly by life in East Tennessee and music.
To view more of her work, please visit www.bethmeadows.com and www.etsy.com/shop/WithBearHands
The pieces will be displayed and available for sale at Räla, located at 323 Union Avenue in Downtown Knoxville, just off Market Square.
