Beth Stewart Greetings Savannah! I’m excited to begin writing about artists and art happenings for Connect Savannah twice monthly. I’ve been here long enough to remember when Tim Rutherford was the editor of the now defunct Coastal Art & Antiques and to remember when Allison Hersh was the art critic for the local paper. Without a doubt, some prestigious art writers have come before me. I am originally from Portrush, Northern Ireland, and emigrated to San Francisco after attending the University of Belfast. My photographer - and ex - husband brought us to Savannah, and it has been my passion to get to know and to be involved in the local art community ever since.
