Sobre el Artista

Beth Scher’s work is deeply rooted in themes of femininity, feminism and the roles of women in the military theater. In travels to Israel, she became deeply sympathetic to the plight of women conscripted into military service. As a mother of a daughter of similar age, Scher related to them as a maternal nurturer, and saw them as a paradoxical enigma. These are young women in the prime of life, “girls” who are aware of and seek to display their sexuality and vulnerability, yet are also in a position of power, trained killers and placed in serious conflicts. She is concerned about what their plight can mean for women of the world. Ms. Scher graduated from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia with an MFA in Studio Art in December of 2013. Since then, she has appeared in many group shows and exhibitions in New York, Chicago, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia and Florida. She has been featured in the Arts and Culture Section of the July 23, 2014 issue of the Huffington Post and the October/November 2014 issue of Bust Magazine.
