Betty left photos of some of her art
which were dated and contained some notations. Unless noted below by a
date after her 1996 death, the picture was taken around the time she made the
piece. In the early to mid 1980's Betty became afflicted with rheumatoid
arthritis in her fingers and it soon became to painful for her
to continue
working with her hands.
This 10" tall
"Teasel Tree" was given
to me by mother around 1969 or 1970.
Betty made a number of these in
California after her second marriage
and
gave them to family and friends.
