Indiana Artist - Beth Clary Schwier

Expressionist, IMPRESSIONIST

Award-winning artist, Beth Clary Schwier, hails from Peru, Indiana, where she performed with the Peru Circus from age 9 until she moved to Muncie, IN, to study Theatre at Ball State University.

Beth is a wife and mother of six children, and two sweet grand babies. A former actress and model, she began seriously studying art in 2012, entering her first juried show early 2014. Throughout 2012-2015, she studied with renowned Indiana artist, Charles Warren (C.W.) Mundy. Shortly after opening her Indianapolis studio inside the iconic Stutz Building in 2015, she was discovered by design scouts for the national HGTV series Good Bones, filmed in Indianapolis. Beth now operates her own gallery in Historic Irvington, just minutes east of downtown Indianapolis.
