Betz Green

Betz Green, as a child, spent hours wandering through the rural landscapes surrounding her home in Berks County, Pennsylvania. On these rambles, she collected nature’s small scale castoffs such as tiny animal skulls, seed pods, discarded bird nests and eggs, insect casings and other natural treasures. Upon returning home, these cherished bits would become still lifes from which she would study and draw. These early experiences form the sensibilities for her subjects and artistic style.

After attending the Tyler School of Art, Betz became the original cover illustrator for Montgomery County Town and Country Living Magazine and co-founded the Montgomery County Guild of Professional Artists. Her current work includes a wide range of subject matter from both Montgomery and Bucks County. Over the years, Betz has produced portfolios of work featuring such diverse mediums as silverpoint, oil, oil pastel, charcoal, graphite, watercolor, and mixed media collage.

With her husband, artist James Green, Betz has been featured in gallery and museum shows and in numerous private collections. Among other regional, national and international shows, she has exhibited and received honors and awards at The State Museum of Pennsylvania, Phillips’ Mill and Stover Mill galleries in Bucks County, Philadelphia Water Color Society, Philadelphia Sketch Club - with the Gold and Silver Medals at Audubon Artists, Inc. and the Salmagundi Club in NYC.
