“The best self-care is caring for others and showing up” — Painter Mary Beth on Creativity and Connection
On a quiet afternoon in Raleigh, Oliwia Pawelczak visited painter Mary Beth Eisentadt in her charming little studio — a space filled with colors, bright sewing bits, and countless little creative details. Between half-finished canvases and soft southern light, the two talked about returning to analog art, finding beauty in the ordinary, and the warmth of being present. In a world where things have become so easily replaceable, it’s beautiful to see that the sweetness in her paintings also lives in her personality — a reminder to hold on to things, to be there for others, and to understand that connection still matters most.
