The Beth Crowder Collection

Beth Crowder’s award-winning pastels have been recognized and widely-acclaimed throughout West Virginia, featured at both the Department of Culture and History in Charleston and Tamarack Marketplace, where she has been one of the top-selling artists for several years. Her work can be found in private collections around the country, and she has many pieces included as part of the permanent collection of the State of West Virginia.

Beth’s journey as an artist dates back to her teenage years in New York City, where she attended the High School of Art and Design studying art for four hours a day before frequently cutting afternoon classes to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art and immerse herself in the work of the great Masters of Impressionism. Beth later lived all over the world before finally settling in West Virginia, her home since 1977. While her early career focused on portraiture, in the early 1990s Beth turned her attention to the art of landscape, that for which she has become best known.
