Beth McCarthy EXHIBIT Starts Oct 4
​About Beth McCarthy
It was Andrew Wyeth and Winslow Homer’s paintings that inspired me to paint in watercolor. I am particularly attracted to the brilliance of color and the happy accidents that occur. Many believe this medium is the most difficult of all but to me it is the most expressive. Cape Cod seasons offer the most amazing opportunity for subject matter.

It is easy to pick up a brush and totally lose all sense of time. Always trying to achieve excellence and develop a unique style, I continue to study with the many excellent local watercolor teachers such as: Robert Mesrop, Ann Hart, Julie Blanchard and Tony Visco. In addition I have attended workshops with nationally recognized watercolor artists.

​I am proud to be a Juried artist member of the Cape Cod Art Center where I have won many awards. Also as a member, I have received awards from the Creative Art Center in Chatham and the Sandwich Arts Alliance. Just recently my art work has been accepted in several New England Watercolor Society’s regional all member shows at the Plymouth Center for the Arts. My paintings are currently on display at the Cape Cod Art Center, the Sandwich Art Alliance, PlymouthCenter for the Arts and the Fisherman’s View. Many collectors from Cape Cod, New England, NY, CT ,VA, CA, England and Australia enjoy having my paintings in their homes and offices

SAA members are invited to register, on a first come first served basis, for a solo four week show. You are committed once you submit your name.

​The following criterion explains the expectations:
  • There will be a “call to artists” to register every six months for the next six months. Months are assigned on a first come, first serve basis, however, if there is a conflict you may opt out of a given month when registering.
  • A non-refundable payment of $50 is due when registering.
  • The space where work will hang is a 18' X 4 1/2' wall. The SAA retains the right to suggest or make changes as they see fit regarding the number of pieces to be hung.

  • All Guidelines pertaining to the hanging of artwork are to be adhered to.  (Guidelines are found on the SAA website)
  • All work submitted will be "for sale" through the Alliance and if sold will incur a 30% commission.
  • Work will hang for the entire show unless it means the forfeiture of a sale
  • Replacements for sold work is allowed 
  • The artist will hang their own show with the assistance of a committee member (a hanging system is used).
  • Work will be hung and removed in the morning (8:00 -9:00 AM) of the first Tuesday of each month. You must be present for the hanging and removal of your work.
  • Two weeks prior to the show a complete and final list is required with an artist statement and the title, medium, size, jpg and price of each piece you are planning to hang. 

The SAA welcomes you to submit your name and take advantage of this new opportunity!
