Beverly Dyer, artist

"We all cross through life from birth to death. During my years as a
nurse, I experienced many profound and intimate human encounters and witnessed the most tragic and joyful of human circumstances. This had beautifully positive as well as distressing effects on me as a person. My goal as a nurse and artist is to maintain health and balance in order to be fully present on this journey of life.

Artistic expression through painting and poetry is inspiring and health
promoting for me. I take my experiences and translate them into creative activity in search of meaning and understanding. Or sometimes I travel on a journey with my imagination and escape into fantasy by painting away the hours for the pure joy of it. For me, creativity is important to a well-adjusted life.

I'm formally educated in nursing, with both a bachelors and masters
degree. I consider myself a life-time student and am currently working on a certificate in botanical illustration through the North Carolina Botanical Gardens. Watercolor is my favorite medium and my passion is painting subjects that celebrate the spirit of life!

I live in beautiful Chapel Hill, North Carolina with my adorable husband Sam and our three cats Mocha, Maya, and Matisse."
