ABOUT
Mariah Bethke is a visual artist based in Baltimore County with a deep-rooted passion for nature, human history, and the evolution of life. Mariah received her B.S. in Art History with a minor in Museum Studies at Towson University. Mariah’s academic and artistic work is guided by a fascination with the past—how people have lived, created, and connected to the natural world across time.
She is especially interested in the intersections of art and science, and she hopes to build a career that blends her creative practice with museum and gallery work. Whether through curatorial projects, education, or her own artwork, Mariah is dedicated to making spaces where people can engage meaningfully with art and history.
