Meet The Artist

Beth Haidle

Describe what you do: I’m a freelance artist, so I juggle several roles: Author / Illustrator, Art Educator, Art & Editorial director of Illustorial magazine.

Where do you live? Where do you work? I live in Portland, Oregon.

Describe a typical day for you: Ah, I don’t ever have a typical day but I try to start each morning with some indulgent time to myself — usually involves a giant mug of perfect tea, some automatic writing in a notebook that I never read later, and a little sketching or watercolor along some theme I’m focused on lately. I eat rather healthy but in my post-over-the-hill years I’ve decided that a bar of dark chocolate is the best breakfast.

Name a book that you read recently and loved: Hard Boiled Wonderland, by Haruki MurakamiThe Hearing Trumpet by Leonora Carrington

Favorite snack: Dried cherries

Favorite color combination: Always changes but lately I like mixing my own black with equal parts indigo and orange-red.

What is your most treasured possession? Portable hammock

What is the best piece of advice someone ever gave you? As a young girl I didn't have much self-confidence and I often doubted my own abilities.
My mother always gave me a powerful speech;
YOU WANT IT, YOU CAN DO IT, YOU DO IT! (In
Dutch it sounds better, hihi). When I'm feeling insecure these days, I hear my mom say this to
me to give myself some more courage.

What is the best piece of advice someone ever gave you? I’m failing to remember any specific quote at the moment but my go-to gurus for advice lately have been Rupaul and Lynda Barry.
