Artist Statement
I began my love of photography as a young child. My father was a photography enthusiast and I became enthralled with the idea of capturing a story through images when he would photograph me as I would tell him stories that I would make up – you could almost see my imaginary worlds through his lens in my facial expressions. I was hooked. Telling stories through my lens has become the hallmark of my creative process, be it in a series of images or in a single landscape.
My choice in subjects for my art is influenced by my health and by my need to social distance, even long before the coronavirus pandemic. In 2016, I was finally diagnosed with a genetic immunodeficiency called Common Variable Immunodeficiency. My photography provides me with meditative healing through affording me a creative and contemplative outlet for the stressors of daily life, the intensities of chronic illness, and my day job as a rocket engineer.
My goal for my art is to ultimately bring the mission of restoration and healing to others. I want people who view my art to also find that art can be healing for them as well – be it through the enhancement of their environment, the story it tells or inspiration to be creative themselves.
Bio
Beth Sheridan resides outside Houston, Texas working as both an aerospace engineer and artist. She was adopted into a family where her father’s love of photography quickly began to influence her artistic eye.
Sheridan has studied under many known-names in the photographic community. She has also studied under some of NASA’s top photographers. Sheridan has won national and international acclaim with her art; been represented in galleries in New York, Houston and Galveston; and had exhibitions across the country and in Paris, France.
Battling chronic illness, Sheridan finds photography to be her healing meditation. Employing techniques inspired by engineering, Sheridan explores photographic themes ranging from cultural identity, to tradition and heritage, to place and light.
