Bev Birdwell for GET STARTED, Fairweather’s July exhibition.

I have devoted decades to the joy of painting, starting as a toile painter in 1972. Over the years, I have been blessed to spread my passion for painting at my studio, Arts Desire, artist retreats in various beautiful locations, and at conventions and trade shows.

My journey has led me to paint alongside incredible artists like Dale Gehrman, Susan Jenkins, and many others, enriching my life with profound friendships and invaluable knowledge. The experiences and wisdom gained through these classes have been an extraordinary gift, shaping both my art and my teaching, which I am deeply privileged to share with others. –Bev Birdwell
