Statement
BORN: RED BLUFF, CALIFORNIA

I was moving from Brooklyn back to San Francisco and I was getting rid of things and I threw away this painting—the one I’m standing in front of. My roommate decided I should keep it. He rescued it. I’m glad he did that. He’s a secret angel.

My dad is an artist and my mother is a dancer. I’m an artist. It’s in my bones. This painting is me.

—Beth Middleworth
