Bloom is coming to Greensboro

We are finally moving forward with an exhibition featuring Beth P. Leigh’s new art collection: Bloom. Leigh takes us on an adventure through the stories in her journal of her personal growth, healing and self care through the lens of a Black Woman. The Exhibitions will be held at the Center for Visual Artists in Greensboro, NC.

Story

In 2019, Beth made a promise to journal with great intention throughout 2020. Little did she know, 2020 would be a year of great isolation and reflection for the world. Isolation afforded her the opportunity to become more serious about the meditative practice of journaling. In reviewing her 2020 journal, she realized, 2020 was a year of great growth. She had “Bloomed.” She decided to take pages from her journal and create paintings that brought those words and emotions to life; the Bloom Exhibit was born.

About the Artist

Abstract artist, Beth P. Leigh was born and raised in Greensboro, NC. Her earliest art experiences can be traced to her childhood. Growing up in a “Village” curated by her mother, Beth experienced visual arts, literary arts, musicianship, dance and theatre. Beth is a healer, dedicating her life to being a gatekeeper of Black Art, mental health advocacy and community building. With training in literary, vocal, music, 2D, and 3D visual arts, Beth has found that art can be utilized as a gateway to break the stigma of mental illness, offer resources to the community at large, and save lives. She has shown in galleries in North Carolina, Florida and New York. Her commissioned pieces can be found in North Carolina, New York, Florida, Virginia, Washington, DC, California, Texas, Illinois, Mexico, Spain, Dominican Republic, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, England, Botswana, Kenya, South Africa and Morocco.
