This Rochester, NY, artist likes “sparkly stuff.”

"Three hats with ladies" ©Beth Bloom, All Rights Reserved.Sometimes she applies it with a glue gun, and other times she captures it with her gifted photographic eye. From plush, dimensional designs on fabric, to images that illuminate life from darkness, Beth has a vision for the tactile.

She first saw the inside of a darkroom at 16.

 “I saw how photographic prints were made and developed,” she recalls.

“As the image came up in the developer, I realized that I was seeing something magical and I wanted to know how to do ‘magic’ like that.”

"2 dafs and purple" ©Beth Bloom, All Rights Reserved.She’s always pushing the limits of light. Color. Texture.

She creates evocative artwork from both images and “embellishments like beads, ribbons and sparkly stuff.”

What will spark her imagination next?

“I am currently continuing to work on a series, called ‘blooms’ as well as a few new ideas that are percolating.”
