Tiny fishing villages, rambling coastal cottages, and sunwashed porches come to life in the works of Cape Cod artist Betsy Bennett. Betsy's work is influenced by years of coastal living in Massachusetts and Oregon.
When she was thirteen years old, Betsy began formal training at the Philadelphia Art Museum and the Wayne Pennsylvania Art Association. Later, at Moore College of Art, she learned the challenging method of egg tempera painting, the medium that continues to intrigue her years later.
In the 1950's Betsy moved to Cape Cod and established a busy life juggling family and art. She taught watercolor, oil painting and drawing to adults, and substituted in area schools. Meanwhile, her luscious paintings of the region appeared in area galleries, and she was awarded one-person show status. Betsy's detailed architectural and natural renderings have gained her Excellence in Technique awards and many Best of Show awards in Massachusetts and Oregon. Even with the absence of people, each painting hints that someone is just around the corner.
