Educated at Sarah Lawrence College in the 1980's, Beth Weintraub studied writing, theatrical production and Intaglio etching and printmaking. Working for Broadway costume designers in New York for several years, Weintraub came to California where she spent five seasons at the San Francisco Opera sculpting body armor and masks. Leaving the Opera to begin working as an artist full time, etchings became her focus. Utilizing the etched metal as well as the prints, Weintraub conceived a series of projects showing both sides of the etching process.

Inspired by mass produced modular furniture of the 50's and 60's, Weintraub wanted to create a series of mix and match artworks, where the client becomes the designer. This eventually resulted in the creation of modular wall tiles, finished and ready to hang, no framing is needed. Weintraub takes a rigid, historical printmaking process into today's modern world. Rejecting the idea that printing is only for repetitious editions of identical paper images, Weintraub takes extra time to print editions that are varied in color, no two alike. The metal plates are all original, hand painted etchings. Photography and digital devices are not used.
