Meet the Artist

hey. hi. hello.

I’m Beth Chien, a mixed-media artist just outside Chicago, where I live with my husband and our two rescue goldens. After 25 years in the corporate world, I got the nudge I needed to finally go all in on art.

I’m especially drawn to the raw edge of cities—peeled posters, graffiti, worn surfaces, bold type, and unexpected color. Everyday Explorations: Downtown Edition is built from that love and designed to help you turn what you notice out in the world into art that feels layered, personal, and real.

I’d love to create with you. Enroll below to start your adventure!
