Betty is, energetic, spontaneous and creative. Mostly self-taught, she has
attended numerous workshops, working with oil, pastels, collage, watercolor and
drawing.
Her play of color and quick brush strokes show her impressionist style of painting.
She creates still-life paintings, drawn to the personality and unique shape of each
object. The lighting that she captures creates and exciting spectrum of color that
always appears in her paintings.
Living in Louisiana, she grasps the "flavor of the landscape" in her swamp scenes and rural
landscapes. Plein air painting allows her to find the perfect spot, with the perfect mood.
Usually a quick sketch or photo captures the essence of the
composition and aids to her ability to go from one medium to another and her
feeling of spontaneity and comfort in all forms of painting
