"I take into account the composition design, light pattern, color and mood of the subject. If those elements are strong, I move forward with the painting."

Betsy Johnson Welty
Betsy Johnson Welty is a contemporary American oil painter best known for her vibrant, expressive landscapes, cityscapes, and floral compositions featuring bold colors and loose brushwork that blend realism, impressionist elements and graphic design sensibilities. She regards the act of creating art as a process of continued discovery that brings with it challenges, surprises, obstacles, insight and epiphanies. Each new painting presents a new set of adventures and a quest for interpreting the world she sees in a unique way.
Welty attended Occidental College and majored in fine art. She then embarked on a career in graphic design, but continued her painting studies with Kevin Weckbach and other master artists. Her work has been juried into many state and national exhibitions, shown in galleries, and are collected by private buyers.
