Beverly has been in several local shows not attaches to any one medium. She enjoys painting with acrylic, oil, watercolor and pen and ink. Over 100 murals located throughout Western Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Arizona have Beverly’s signature, along with being features in local news and Better Homes & Garden for painting a mural that transformed a young Red Sox fan’s bedroom into a stadium, complete with Red Sox vs. Yankees game in progress.

ABOUT THE BEAR:

Rushmore, and the other side has the Presidential Seal and also the dates of Teddy Roosevelt's terms of office.
