Beverly Kephart was born in Omaha, Nebraska. At the age of two her parents migrated to the West and settled in a sleepy farming town of Casa Grande, Arizona. Art was always a part of her, drawing and doodling since she could hold a pencil. Throughout grade school, high school and college she has won many State and National awards for her artwork. After finishing at NAU in Flagstaff, Bev moved to San Diego and used her artistic talents in Interior Design. Her clientele took her all across California and the United States. After 20 years, she became tired of the congestion of the city and airline travel, moved back to Arizona settling in Sedona. She became active in the Sedona Art community, joined the Sedona Art Center and became an instructor. She taught watercolor, drawing, and colored pencil and was a designated "Master" artist in the Art Center's annual art exhibit. She has won several state awards for her artistic work. |
