A friend once told Betsy “In the end, you will receive no refunds for unused portions of your life. In addition to working as an artist from her home studio in
Chanhassen, Minnesota for many years, Betsy has been a dancer, an aerial artist
and a firefighter. These experiences, her family and nature inspire and influence
her work. She lives with her husband, Herb, and daughter, Svetlana, in a
beautiful cabin-like home. Her illustrations have appeared in advertising, and
on gift bags, mylar balloons, floral products, etc.. Betsy is very grateful to be
able to use her creativity to make a living. Betsy is a current member of SCBWI.
