Mary Todd Beam

AWS, NWS

Mary Todd Beam is an award winning, nationally recognized fine artist of acrylic painting. Mary and her husband, Don, call Cambridge, Ohio home during the winter months but migrate to the hills of Tennessee in the summer to hide away in a 150 year old log cabin. She isn't able to hide now! The September 2001 release of her very popular book, Celebrate Your Creative Self has brought Mary Todd Beam much deserved recognition. [more]

NOTE:We are currently re-editing Mary's DVD due to technical issues in the original master … expected re-release of the new and improved DVD workshop is Summer 2008.

Mary Todd Beam

Now in its second printing, Mary Todd Beam's book speaks to the artistic process, the reaching beyond the self and into the unknown to tap into our own personal humanity. Mary encourages play, taking risks and exploration as part of the process.

Mary Todd Beam has a background in teaching and nursing, but she loves art. She incorporates personal symbols into her work, and allows the painting to tell her what's next. Her great joy is to be in the creative realm, with all its unknowns. She says, "It's the only place to be!" In spring of 2002, Mary Todd Beam won her second gold medal at the American Watercolor Society in New York.

Mary came to the CCP studio in December of 2001 to share her acrylic talents with us. The interview taped with her at that time is a real insight to her creative process. We are looking forward to remastering this timeless material for DVD.
