biography

Betty was born in Charleston, West Virginia, but has lived most of her life in the northeast. She has been working professionally as a designer and, most recently, as a fine artist since 1978. Currently working with paint or pastel, she is creating landscape and still life compositions either on location or in her Rowayton studio. Betty’s work is represented in private collections in the US. She exhibits at local galleries in the northeast, and has won numerous awards for her paintings and pastels. Her life as a fine artist developed following a successful career as a graphic designer. After receiving her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, Betty worked as a designer and art director for George Tscherny, Inc. (NY), Pellegrini & Associates (NY) and Meyer Design Associates (CT). Her work was recognized with awards from the American Institute of Graphic Arts, DESi, the Connecticut Art Director's Club, and the NY Art Directors Club; and published in Graphis Magazine, Print Magazine, NY Art Directors Annual, AIGA Annual and Graphis Annual. She lives with her family in Rowayton, Connecticut.
