Beth Hansen
Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1966, Beth Hansen began drawing images of fantasy in her teens, inspired by fantasy fiction and fairy myths.

Her visionary work has been featured in Seventh House Publishing's "Seasons of the Witch" 2003 calendar and will appear in the 2004 calendar as well.
