Beth Cavener Stichter is known for her dynamic, emotionally charged animal and human figures. Her unusual method of working begins with a solid mass of clay, often over 2,000 lbs., and then hollowing each part of the sculpture down to the skin. Beth is currently a full-time professional studio artist working in the state of Washington. She received her BA in sculpture from Haverford College and her MFA from Ohio State University. She was awarded the Artist Trust Fellowship in 2009, the Jean Griffith Foundation Fellowship in 2006, the Virginia A. Groot Foundation Grant and an Individual Artist Fellowship from the Ohio Arts Council in 2005, and the American Craft Council's Emerging Artist Fellowship in 2004. She has also been an Artist-in-Residence at the Clay Studio in Philadelphia and the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, MT. She has exhibited nationally (at such institutions as the Smithsonian Museum) and internationally and is currently represented by the Claire Oliver Gallery in Chelsea, NY.
