works in pencil and pen & ink. She has recently rediscovered oils, after not painting with them since
high school. Her subjects include architecture, flora, boats, marinas, seascapes and landscapes.
One of her mentors, her architect/artist father, gave her support, encouragement and inspiration.
Betsy has loved watercolors since high school, but it was not until 1995 that her passion came to
life. Inspired by seeing the paintings of a prominent doctor, Betsy decided, “to drop her inhibitions
and follow her dream”.
Painting out of her home and wanting to learn more about her own style, she decided to join the
Savannah Art Association. In September of 1999, she won a Best of Show Award. This gave her the
boost she needed for her next move. In November of that year, Betsy teamed up with two other City
Market artists to open a studio/gallery. In 2001, she won an honorable mention award. November
2002 found Betsy's work in the Four Visions show with Sharon Dobbs, Carrie Kellogg, and Andrea
Stark. Four Visions Revisited was on display in December 2005 in the Lobby Gallery on City Market.
Over the years, Betsy has done numerous commissions including house portraits, churches, and a
painting of a family crest.
Betsy served seven years on the Savannah Art Association Board, filling positions from Treasurer to
Chairman of The Board. She is currently a member of both the Savannah Art Association and the
Tybee Arts Association.
Betsy has taught for Michaels, Savannah Art Association, Landings Art Association, Tybee Art
Association, Host South and the Savannah Christian Art Camp. She gives private and group drawing
and painting lessons. She was an art counselor for MBL (Mission for Biblical Literacy) in orphanages
in the area of Smolensk Russia. Her enthusiasm and her love for art are passed on to her students.
Her desire to learn new skills and techniques is inspiring.
