In Memoriam for Beth Tocher
Written by Linda Dever
This is a tribute to long time member Elizabeth (Beth) Tocher who passed away after a long illness on 5/11/20. Beth was featured in The American Collector book, at various Galleries in San Francisco, and the ArtWork artists group. She exhibited in most of our Art Guild of Pacifica shows and was often a gallery sitter.
She was born in Upper New York on August 14. I met Beth in 1987 when we both taught ESL at Westmore High School. She quickly became a close friend. We enjoyed many walks together at Pacifica Pier.
Beth produced over 100 paintings which showcased her unusual abstract surrealistic style. Her vibrant color was amazing. Although quiet and reserved she was very sweet, kind, witty, and intelligent. As my closest friend we shared showing our art together often.
We will miss you and I am sure you are painting rainbows up in heaven. I love you Beth. RIP.
