Beth Mueller was born in rural Indiana. Her artwork is inspired by having lived there, her travels, family, and day to day experiences.

She received a BA from Eckerd College. During her time there, she also worked at Studio Santa Reparata in Florence, Italy, learning printmaking. Upon graduation, she served a two year apprenticeship in the pottery studio of John Glick.

Before becoming a full time studio artist she worked as a camp counselor, supervisor for a housing shelter, waitress, bartender, and a French teacher, not necessarily in that order.

She now designs and makes by hand a line of fine art prints, stationary and pottery in Barre, Vermont, where she lives with her family.

Her work is sold in galleries and museum shops around the country and her pieces are included in numerous private and museum collections.
