Artist's Biography
Of
herself
,
Betsy
writes
, '
After
receiving
a
B.A
.
degree
in
English
at
Middlebury
College
in
VT
(and
teaching
English
for
three
years
at a
private
school
in
Massachusetts
where
,
I
kid
you
not,
Uma
Thurman
was
one
of
my
students)
,
I
moved
to
Iowa
City
in
1987
to
pursue
an
M.F.A
. in
poetry
from the
Writers
'
Workshop
,
which
I
completed
in
1990
.
I
worked
for
many
years
at
ACT
and
NCS
-
now
Pearson
-
and have been a
writer/editor
at The
University
of
Iowa
Foundation
since
2000
.
When
I'm
not
working
,
I
spend
many
weekends
making
art
and
participating
in
art
fairs
.
I
am
also a
jazz
singer
with
one
CD
I
made
with
some
of
Iowa's
most
amazing
jazz
players
-
the
fabulous
Dan
Knight
(piano)
and the
incredible
Craig
Dove
(bass)
.
I
have
performed
in the
Iowa
Jazz
Festival
and on
many
local
stages
. For
ten
years
,
I
was
part
of the
infamous
band
,
Too
Much
Yang
.
Finally
,
I
do
still
write
poetry
, and
I
have a
book-length
manuscript
of
poems
just
aching
to be
published
.
I
have
grown
to
love
Iowa
City
and
Coralville
and
am
finally
learning
how to
garden
.
I
live
in
Coralville
with
my
sweetie
,
Hans
, and
my
(fluffy
,
spoiled)
feline
furball-and-chain
,
Nikita.
'
Artist's Statement
About
her
work
,
Betsy
writes
, 'What
can
I
say
?
I
am
from
Vermont
.
I
love
leaves
.
I
started
making
art
from
pressed
leaves
years
ago
, as a
fun
project
with
my
stepdaughters
.
My
partner
,
Hans
Olson
,
is
an
amazing
oil
landscape
painter
who
has
sold
his
work
at
art
fairs
and in
galleries
for
years
.
I
started
accompanying
him to
art
shows
, then
decided
I
would also
start
making
and
selling
art
pieces
myself
.
Why
should he have
all
the
fun
and
glory
?
My
work
seems
simple
, and
is
relatively
,
except
that
over
several
years
,
I
have
come
to
know
which
types
of
leaves
will
dry
best
and
keep
their
color
-
even
which
trees
in
Iowa
City
produce
the
best
leaf
colors
in the
fall
!
I
hand-pick
each
leaf
from the
tree
(no
,
seriously!)
and
dry
layers
and
layers
of these '
perfect
'
leaves
during
what
I
call
my
'
harvest
season
' in
October/November
. This
year
,
I
am
also
drying
spring/summer
leaves
to
add
more
greens
to
my
work
.
It
is
surprising
how
much
the
shades
and
textures
of
leaves
vary
,
even
on a
single
tree
. In
putting
my
pieces
together
,
I
pay
attention
to the
scale
,
color
, and
shapes
of the
leaves
together
-
and then
I
try
to
create
simple
backgrounds
with the
paper
and
frames
that
bring
out
the
leaves
'
natural
beauty
.
It
is
amazing
how
some
background
colors
will
make
the
leaves
'
sing
'!
I
have been
thrilled
at how
many
people
respond
to this
work
.
It
is
really
nature's
artwork
-
I
just
try
to
capture
it
and
show
it
at its
best.
