Bethany Altschwager
Bethany Altschwager is an artist, licensed creative arts therapist, and educator born in Connecticut, working in New York, and living in New Jersey. While art has always been an important part of her life, it was her early experiences with darkroom photography that inspired her career in the arts. She now uses the creative process to support adults experiencing mental health challenges to express themselves and develop a greater understanding of thoughts, feelings, and layers of identity. She maintains an active studio practice focused on digital art, photography, collage, and fibers. Her artwork has been displayed in exhibitions across the United States. She has been featured in Artistonish Contemporary Art Magazine, Visual Art Journal, and Artist Closeup Contemporary Art Magazine.
