(from Scales and Measures exhibit)
From Winston Wachter,
we learn
"Eby was born in a small coastal town in Oregon
where she was influenced early on by
the sea, forests and swamps.
She now shares her time between
Seattle and Maine.
Classical music, which she has practiced
since a young age, is a dominant influence
in her life and painting, contributing
to the rhythmic quality of her compositions.
Through a restraint in palette and nuance
of surface, Eby’s works exhibit a
luminous radiance.
In these paintings a meditation is
offered up to those who are willing."
Betsy's latest exhibit is
Arrangements.
Peace to you right where you are.

I've seen her with her husband on a magazine before. I'm trying to remember which one. I felt in love with their philosophy of life. She seems to be a fascinating person.
