Thank You Betsy for the beautiful new autumn banner illustration that is currently gracing the top of this page and for the inspiration you give me.

One peek into Betsy’s art studio, two years ago, and I was hooked. Hooked on the soft vibrant color palettes she chooses, the dream-scapes she cleverly creates and the way her characters peek my imagination. She is my absolute favorite artist of all time and I am not just saying that because she is a good friend

“After a few years in a few cubicles, Betsy Walton has made a break for it. She now works full time as an artist and illustrator from her studio in Portland, Oregon. Her recent work explores the possibilities of visual narrative. With a background primarily in printmaking and drawing, Betsy experiments with layering, detail, and color in her works on paper. When she is not painting and drawing, Betsy might be found wandering through the library, or exploring the forests and beaches of Oregon.”

Betsy has an Etsy Shop. YAY!
