About Betty O'Brien

I am a watermedia artist who creates paintings and "painterly prints" called monotypes in a unique blend of media and subject. Beginning with recognizable natural elements, I manipulate forms according to my personal feelings, ideas and the historical interpretation of modern art
movements.

The work is "Expressively Realistic" because the subjects are edited and transformed with a variety of techniques to produce the essence of a feeling or idea about the subject. I feel free to interpret and generalize about forms or part of a landscape and often the reference seems to call for a certain process or combination of media.

Throughout a long teaching career I have taught students to create works using multiple media, techniques, and stylistic and compositional concepts. Presently I teach watercolor and other watermedia applications at my studio and teaching facility called the "Watermedia Academy". I am open, in my work and teaching, to experimentation and finding balance in the creative process between planning and intuition.

About Patti's Quilting & Fabrics

We are a full service Quilt Shop as well as a Professional Long-arm Quilting Service. I have been a quilter for more than a decade and a long-arm professional for seven of those years. We do only pantographs or edge-to-edge quilting, some free hand stipple/meander on small wall hangings and table runners but that is the extent of our (and I use this phrase freely) custom quilting.
