Beth Anne Gordley grew up in a creative environment filled with art, design and music. Not sharing in her mother and brother’s painting abilities, she longed to express her own creativity. She found that outlet in a high school photography class. Without hesitation, she pursued her life’s passion beginning with a degree in commercial photography from The Ohio Institute of Photography. She continued her studies at The Columbus College of Art and Design and later The Maine Photographic Workshops.

The world of advertising, graphic design and production opened up to her when she moved to Boston to manage a commercial studio. There were many opportunities for her to develop a deep understanding of the business in the photography and advertising world. Eventually, this lead to Beth Anne establishing an advertising agency. Although she enjoyed the many creative processes in advertising, her true love remained photography, which she continued throughout this period on a professional and personal basis.

Now married with two children, she resides in a coastal town in Maine. She has added creating an extensive art collection for a local hospital, decorating and consulting to her repertoire. Her work has been a part of various juried shows and international competitions. Her photographs and APC-created canvases are available in local stores, bricks and mortar galleries, online galleries and on her web site. She is currently creating fine art for clients and prospective customers. Beth Anne is also developing personal photography and design projects taking her work into new dimensions.
