Exploring the common properties of shaping, firing, and glazing clay along with creating collage works with encaustic medium and acrylic has inspired Beth Fields to create a wide range of creative pieces.  She draws on her love for color, pattern, and old things of all kinds to craft individual pieces that carry an echo of another time and place.

Beth Fields has followed a wandering path before finding her heart home in McKinney, TX.  After growing up in the North Dallas suburbs, Beth received a BA from Eugene Lang College in NYC, NY and a MEd from Boston College, which gave her the chance to walk around and admire the buildings of New York and New England for seven years.  Two years of living in London gave an even wider variety of buildings to marvel at across the UK and Europe.   She is delighted to live now in the beautiful McKinney Historic District, though she misses having the chance to ride trains on a regular basis.  She is deeply grateful for and inspired by the communities of Glaze Ceramics Studio in McKinney, TX, Mrs. Potts' Place Pottery Studio in Celina, TX and the Encaustic Center in Richardson, TX.

When not creating art, she is dedicated to her yoga practice and Jazzercise obsession.  She is a voracious traveler who takes pictures of doorknobs wherever she goes.
