Pop-Up with Betsy Schulthess 2022

I am moved and inspired by the colors, the natural light, and the spirit or energy inherent in each of the subjects of my paintings. In a sense, I often think that the subject matter chooses me so that I can transfer the effect it has on me to canvas to share it with others. As with my perception of the often whimsical or playful nature of all that our surroundings have to offer the attentive eye, I endeavor to weave into my paintings the light, color, shapes, and forms of the wonderful subjects in our midst.

My primary modality is oil. I use loose, expressive strokes and rich, colorful hues to highlight the moment’s wonder. My paintings are humble attempts to capture and convey my unique and spirited approach.
