bio

Beth Daigle has been actively studying and pursuing creative endeavors ever since she can remember. After attending SCAD to study 3D Graphics, a craft she applies daily in her professional life, she has always strived to achieve more in her creative life. Beth fosters her art like any relationship, taking time and attention every day to check in with her passion and ensure it is well-loved. She has improved upon her technique and creative confidence year after year in a lifelong pursuit, and she loves honing her craft in whatever way she can. She creates oil paintings out of her home studio, taking whatever time she can find to sit down and create something. She also enjoys flexing her creative muscle by painting outside of the studio, including painting en plein air and painting from live models.

artist’s statement

I aim to strike a balance between the recognizable form of my subject and the emotional quality it inspires in me. My process is rooted in both plein air painting and studio work, with each approach informing the other. Even in the controlled setting of the studio, I strive to maintain the spontaneity and immediacy that painting outdoors demands. Rather than simply copying what I see, I reinterpret my subjects through intentional manipulation of light, color, composition, and edge. These elements allow me to express more than a likeness—they help me evoke a feeling.
