 Ogunquit, Maine has a long history as a haven for
artists. In the early 1900's, Perkins Cove was a thriving
art colony with renowned artist, Charles Woodbury, as
its driving force. Today, a century later, that artistic
heritage can still be felt as you stroll through the town
or quietly walk Ogunquit's beautiful white sandy beaches.
Beth's creative romance with the Maine Coast began
at the age of twelve when she spent many hours at Perkins Cove observing artists working outside their studios. She was mesmerized by the beauty and powerful energy in their work. Unbeknownst to her, those special moments would impact her future career. Today, Beth's paintings reflect the influence of those artists as well as Ogunquit's Charles Woodbury and Maine's beloved Winslow Homer. Her work is a contemporary vision in the plein air tradition.
Offering plein air painting
workshops during the month of June (her
13th anniversary in 2008!),
and the familiar sight
of Beth painting in the
open air throughout a
five-month season, ensure her commitment that Ogunquit's plien
air tradition continues to thrive.

The
Beth Ellis Cove Gallery is
located in the center of
Perkins Cove,
across from
the drawbridge, above Dock
Square Clothiers.
In
early July, she unveils her
popular Small Works exhibit.
These ‘small gems in oil' are enthusiastically received
by residents and tourists
alike. They are a wonderful way to begin or expand a collection
of Beth’s paintings.
