Painting by Numbers - Betty Carr

After earning her master's degree from San Jose State University in California, Betty taught painting, drawing and sculpture at the elementary and high school levels.

Betty's artistic style is marked by impressionism. Her use of colour, light and shadow accentuates her subject matter while showing the her love of nature and its forms.

"What draws my attention is the effect that light has on form in unique situations, whether ephemeral, overflowing, striking, etc. I challenge myself to capture its dramatic and/or subtle effects."-Betty Carr

After years of teaching art in Colorado and California and developing her distinctive painting style, Betty and her husband, who is also an artist, decided to follow the sun to the southwest where colour and light are always at hand.

Betty is both a private and corporate collector and is accepted into numerous juried exhibitions.

In addition, Betty was recently selected as a Master Painter of the American Impressionist Society (AISM).
