Artist's Statement

 


"For me, the value of painting exists in the process itself. The finished product is, of course, the ultimate goal, but what happens along the way is of equal importance.

The creative process engages the sensual, cerebral and emotional aspects of my being. The smell of the paint, its various textures and the sensation of applying it to canvas are an integral part of the experience. Experimenting with and mastering techniques, as well as researching and planning new works of art, provide intellectual satisfaction. The sense of anticipation as the painting emerges, the excitement as the work takes on a life of its own and the sense of pride upon completion are a few of the emotional benefits.

In addition, I enjoy the challenge of evoking a visceral response through a totally visual medium."

    about Betsy

 

Betsy earned a Bachelor of Arts degree at Sarah Lawrence College, studied for one year at Cambridge University in England and took summer courses at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia.

Her professional career began in New York City in 1968, where she worked in advertising and participated in projects involving illustration, graphic design and layout. Moving to Miami in 1975, she turned her creative energies toward designing original artwork for childrens' clothing. In the early 1980's she expanded her career to include the designing and manufacturing of childrens' accessories.

After raising three children, she returned to the practice of her passion: painting. She paints primarily with oils on canvas, which she exhibits locally. Her work is included in private collections in the United States
and Europe.
