This show is essentially a visual log of Beth Popham's journey back to art after a long teaching career. Although many of her paintings are landscapes or street scenes, Beth enjoys shifting focus to the beauty that resides along the edge of the trail, remembering William Blake’s hope that we not lose the ability “to see Heaven in a wildflower, and eternity in a grain of sand.”

Whether in botanical studies, portraiture and life drawing, or landscapes, Beth is drawn to the elegance of shape and line. Her favourite subjects could be called “micro-landscapes” or “natural abstracts”.

​Beth works primarily in acrylics – sometimes combined with pen and ink – and photographic decoupage. The inspiration for many of her paintings comes from en plein air outings and long walks with her trusty Canon Rebel T7i.

Beth will be ​on location at APFTA on Saturday, May 7 and Sunday May 22. ​

A Local Destination for
​Art Lovers

Welcome to A PLACE for the ARTS (APFTA), in Bancroft, Ontario. Located on the scenic Bridge Street, APFTA Gallery is surrounded by restaurants and cafes, and just a short walk from the historic Village Playhouse Theatre. With over 40 members, our Society of Artists is a vibrant community of creatives, who are eager to share their work and inspiration.

Our main area, The Gallery Store, features new art each month, and visitors are encouraged to take their time and ‘hang out’. There’s a pleasant seating area, and you can even grab a fresh espresso from the Muse Cafe next door and bring it in with you. Our space is an excellent place to meet a friend and explore art!

Don’t miss visiting our Annex Gallery, which features a slew of solo and group exhibits.
