Beth is a Fiber Artist and Printmaker from the Chicagoland area. Her parents both work in technical theatre, and gave her the opportunity to learn how to sew at a young age. She moved to Milwaukee to study printmaking and fell in love with combining printmaking and fiber techniques. Her inspiration lies within the rich history of quilting and fiber based craft practices, with printmaking used as a vital tool for her to further explore pattern, texture and repetition within the context of contemporary fiber arts.
Beth Lemerand received her BFA in Studio Art with a focus on Printmaking and Book Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Peck School of the Arts. Lemerand was a year-long resident artist at Anchor Press, Paper & Print and she has work in the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Golda Meir Library Special Collections. She is a current member of the House of Rad, an artist collective located in Riverwest and the Menomonee Valley.
