Beth Stoneberg is a St. Paul resident artist who’s most recent body of work, made from birch plywood and custom tinted polyurethane, assesses the natural shapes and patterns found within the grain of wood. She articulates the the natural pattern by applying multiple layers of color to separate negative space which results a unique abstract pattern. No two pieces are ever the same.
As far back as she can remember, Beth was fascinated by and drawn to trees. Her work explores the trees inner life; specifically the history the wood grain represents. She takes great pleasure in using the trees naturally occurring patterns to draw out the unique story each piece of wood holds.

“You see, the Birch, which grows about as old as a human being, is really the most magical and beautiful of all trees. ”
