Bethany Mae is a multidimensional artist. As a seamstress, muralist, screen printer, painter, poetess, spiritual being and multidimensional creator, her work focuses on the intricacies of human experience. Her primarily inspiration and focus is the concept of Love.

Love nourishes; when we (in)body love, love heals all.

Bethany Mae holds a BFA from Syracuse University (2008) in Costume Design. Her mother taught her to sew as a child, having come from a lineage of master dressmakers. Bethany Mae grew up collecting and later selling vintage clothing, consuming Vogue and replicating photoshoots for her Barbies.

She moved to Los Angeles in 2009, there working in the Film Industry as a hair and makeup artist simultaneously designing and making costumes for theaters.

Continuing working in salons as a cosmetologist until 2019, she left the film industry in 2015. She met a group of artists who rented a painting studio and found screen printing as a medium. In 2017, looking to learn how to paint a mural, she traveled to Kathmandu and painted 4 murals backed by Wall of Hope; an educational organization centered on ending violence toward women and children. Murals were painted on Australian Embassy, European Union Embassy, a girl’s school and Zoo walls with assistance from school children, passers by and rescued sex-trafficked women. 

In 2018 she traveled back to Nepal for a 3 month artist residency through MCube Gallery near Patan Dhaka. There, she taught art classes for children and adults simultaneously starting her Hand Mudra Project. 

Until 2019, she traveled throughout the West Coast from Baja Mexico up to Seattle in a van she named Myrtle, breaking down in Gilroy; the Garlic Capital of the World. 

At the end of 2018, Bethany moved back to Minneapolis and has been organizing events, teaching art through therapeutic techniques and hosting beginning sewing classes while also raising a beautiful child and connecting deeper with our mother earth.

One day she hopes to publish her past blogs, writings and adventures into a book.
