Beth Ganz graduated with honors from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY with a B.F.A. in 1972. She has been a member of Manhattan Graphic Center since 1987 where she teaches classes in photogravure and other intaglio printmaking methods.

Using photogravures of trees and shadows in both negative and positive, this new work reflects impressionistic and decorative representations of nature. The flux between the surface of the image and the photograph's illusory depth alludes to landscape painting's historical legacy of bringing inside the outside, of offering a window onto another world. The element of nostalgia imparted by the nineteenth century process of photogravure is at once maintained and disrupted by the play between negative and positive, surface and depth simultaneously encouraging and foiling escape into contrived worlds, much like traditional landscape painting.

Ganz has held solo exhibitions in New York and South Carolina and her prints have been included in many group shows in the United States as well as England, Europe, and India since 1989. In 2006, Ganz's solo show, Beth Ganz: New Work,was on display at APF Gallery, New York, NY. Ganz's work is also represented in public and private collections including the Tommy Hilfiger Collection; Hofstra Museum, Hempstead, NY; New York Historical Society, New York, NY; Library of Congress, Washington, DC; New York Public Library, New York, NY; and U.S. Department of State Art Bank.
