Born in Princeton, New Jersey in 1975, Beth Davila Waldman pursued her career in the arts initially at Wellesley College (1997) where she earned a BA with a double degree in art history and studio art, graduating with honors in studio arts with a focus on sculpture. She continued her commitment to exploring site and material as her conceptual focus at the San Francisco Art Institute (2005) with a BFA in sculpture where she was awarded the 2004 Harold E. Weiner Memorial Sculpture Award.

Since, Waldman has been awarded residencies by 18th Street Art Center, Kala Art Institute, Playa Institute, and Edition/Basel and participated in projects at Djerassi Art Residency. In 2019, she was invited to be the introductory Annual PhotoAlliance speaker in conjunction with David Maisel at San Francisco Art Institute's Osher Lecture Hall. Over the past three years she expanded her studio practice with additional studios in Los Angeles and New York’s Hudson Valley.
