Mesa Verde, 2023

Beth Anna Margolis
(American, born 1971)

Location: Kessler Center, Puyallup

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Mesa Verde by Beth Anna Margolis reflects her love of color, light, and life.

This artwork is part of a curated collection by Lucile Chich in October 2023 for the Kessler Center, in Puyallup, Western Washington. The collection is based on joy, color, and the inclusion of a marginalized population within the arts community. It was critical to the local Art Selection Committee that the collection celebrate artists who are experiencing disability. This could be physical, neurological, or intellectual. They also wanted the see artists who use the transformative powers of artmaking to transcend, to heal, to rejoice.

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Puyallup School District.
