Travel the World: Spiritual Unity

Piece description from the artist

This piece was inspired by the current religious and cultural tension happening around the world. This illustration combines a number of major religions using the architecture of temples, churches, religious monuments and icons, cathedrals, synagogues, and mosques. Mt. Olympus is used as a backdrop because it considered sacred and the home of the Greek Gods in Greek Mythology. All religions teach us to be kind and caring. The piece hopes to inspire mutual respect towards all people thereby creating a spiritual unity that transcends religious affiliation and cultures.

This artwork features photographs which are edited into line art form, then collaged together to create a unified scene.

About Beth Kerschen

Portland, OR

Beth Kerschen is a multi-disciplinary artist using photomontage to create cityscapes that reflect on community, culture, and urban life. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Colorado College in Colorado Springs, as one of the first students to exhibit digitally created art. Beth moved to Boston, MA to work for Polaroid then worked for ten years as a graphic designer with several creative firms in Boston, eventually moving to Portland, Oregon in 2008. Since that time, Kerschen has committed her life to capturing vast urban landscapes into one tangible image. She uses her photography, design, and illustration skills to turn urban landscapes into fantastical images filled with meaning and nostalgia. Her art explores and reflects on connections held by the landmarks, buildings, signage, graffiti, people, and events that are reflected in urban life and urban culture. She was awarded a Professional Development Grant from RACC (‘15) and a public art installation commission at the Portland International Airport (‘16). Her work has been held in a number of corporate and city collections, including two terms in the Mayor of Portland’s office. She has done a number of installation pieces for numerous residential buildings bolstering local identity.
