About Betsy

Art has always been a part of Betsy with early expression naturally spilling out as she experienced the world around her. Following a formal art education at University of Iowa, Betsy taught elementary art before home-schooling her two sons. Inspiration was everywhere and Betsy continued to express what she experienced in soft-sculpted figures with twig limbs, paintings and drawings.

Beyond the gallery, Betsy has created commissioned work and public art with the talent and heart that are a part of each project she pursues.
