As Founder and Creative Director, Beth personally reviews every Sketchbook that returns from an event or artist. She and her family actively contribute to each one. While the Sketchbooks are with her, Beth carefully selects and cuts collage materials from their pages, which are later incorporated into the Greeting Card Project and various pieces of art throughout communities in MA. Beth is the sole person who cuts from the Sketchbooks, ensuring to leave parts of the original pages intact so that future participants can draw inspiration from them. This approach allows the Sketchbooks to evolve continuously, creating a labyrinth-like experience as you flip through their pages.
