About


Beate is a native German with Italian roots and a love for color, storytelling, framing, folklore and art.
She transplanted herself to the States at the age of 19 to attend The original  Corcoran Gallery School of Art and Design, where she specialized in Printmaking and graduated with a B.F.A.

Beate is a working artist and accomplished and well-trained picture framer and designer.
She opened her venue La Linea Bella ! in 2010 and lived in Charlottesville, VA for over 23 years. She is currently re-locating with her partner and her two dachshunds Titus and Pandora to Black Mountain, N.C. where she plans to open her new studio "Leaf!" in mid 2016.

When she was diagnosed with an auto immune disease in 2010, she became interested in all things green, natural, beautiful and delicious, which she shares with you in this blog.

Beate specializes in animal portraiture, furniture refinishing, light frame restoration, murals and other flights of the imagination.

Whether you are one of her friends or clients from the past or new to this page:
welcome, and please bear with us as we set up the new studio!
