Hi, I'm Betsy
I am an abstract artist located in Indiana. Working with deeply saturated colors, I fuse an array of textures with bold brush strokes to build up layers of paint. Mark-making and acrylic paint pens enhance the compositions resulting in flower-like shapes that meander across the canvas.
From my years as an interior designer, I know the influence our surroundings have on our daily lives. It is so important to appreciate the beauty in each day. My intention is to communicate everyday emotions through art and color.
