Judi Betts

A self-published book, I assume, as the publisher is also the name of her studio. Most of the artwork is hers and she makes a point in listing the awards (from many random shows) that the pieces won. The layout of the printing is rather free-form and includes her thoughts on art, as well as a liberal sprinkling of quotes about art. The art isn't half bad, but the self-admiration gets a bit tedious. Today (2021) this book would probably be a series of Instagram posts.
Just did a Google search and she has her own website. The biography ends with "Over her career, she has been juror/judge for over 150 national/international and regional competitions. In 2009, she served on the Awards Jury for the American Watercolor Society's 142nd International Competition. More than 425 workshops have been presented by Judi; and she has given invitational sessions for watercolor societies in Norway, Puerto Rico, Sweden and Canada.

Judi is a signature member of the American and National Watercolor Societies. She also holds memberships in both the National and Salmagundi Art Clubs in New York City; and is listed in WHO'S WHO IN AMERICAN ART. Her paintings are included in corporate, university, museum and private collections."

My feelings about the book remain the same.… (meer)
