Beth Brennan Grabsih is a figurative sculptor and painter based in Atlanta, Ga. Since beginning her sculpture practice in 2010, Beth has pursued the study of anatomy, motion, and structure. Her work reflects a respect for the discipline of figurative study while reinterpreting it through a contemporary lens. She has been juried into several national exhibitions, and her sculptures are in numerous private collections.

During her residency at BCAC, Beth Brennan Grabish created a life-size torso entitled Liminal. Sculpted in oil-based clay, the piece was molded and cast. The work explores the concept of the threshold- a space of transformation and becoming.

“My residency at Buffalo Creek Art Center was a truly pivotal experience in my development as a figurative sculptor. During this time, I completed Liminal, a life-size torso that represents both technical and personal milestones in my practice. Sculpted in oil-based clay, molded and cast, Liminal explores the threshold of transformation- a theme that parallels my own transition as an artist.
The residency offered not only the time and space to create, but also an environment of encouragement, collaboration, and growth. Working alongside three other sculptors fostered lasting friendships and an invaluable exchange of ideas. Surrounded by the beauty and quiet inspiration of the landscape, I found the freedom to experiment, refine my process, and push my work to the next level.
My time at BCAC opened my eyes to new dimensions of art-making- from technical discipline to the transformative potential of creative community. It was a period of renewal and discovery that strengthened my practice. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to create in such an extraordinary place. “
