Beth McCoy Evans began doing batik in 1989. Having been a painter, she was soon using the batik medium to create representational paintings.

Inspired by nature, travel, and intriguing color and form, wherever it is found, her subjects are varied. She finds the batik process an endless challenge and still delights in the image gradually appearing on the cloth with each successive waxing and dyeing. Currently she is working on a pointillist technique in her paintings, studying the color theory attached to the technique and adapting it for the batik medium.

Beth has exhibited in the US. and abroad, including the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center-Pueblo, CO., the Aspen Arts Center-CO., Spanish Peaks Arts Council-LaVeta, CO., Foothills Arts Center-Golden CO., Jezebel Gallery- Madrid NM., the Gallerie Smend- Koln, Germany, The Beacon- Hastings UK., The Business of Art Center- Colorado Springs,CO. and the Mary Kelly Gallery- Boulder, CO.

Children's Art Workshop and the LaVeta School of the Arts

She lived and worked in Northern India for 3 years. With her husband, batik artist Jonathan S. Evans, she has done volunteer batik workshops with women living in poverty in order to give them skills to create an income. They helped found the Haitian Batik Project and worked with Peace Mexico and Desert Mothers in Mexico.
