Balancing various elements to dizzying perfection, Betsy Walton's work imparts endless discovery and a transient essence. With each piece, Walton draws upon microscopic natural phenomena, motherhood, weather, mindfulness, and printmaking, weaving them together in a working, symbiotic whole. The Pacific Northwest also provided a creative foundation and she spares no detail while reimagining its rich landscape.

In blending organic forms, symbolic elements, geometric patterns, and vivid colors, Walton creates a visual vocabulary that's entirely her own. To gaze upon each work is to get lost in a full range of moods, images, and perspectives. One could isolate just a minor section of the painting to uncover layer upon layer of glorious detail. Meanwhile, a playful and even childlike temperament persists, as if each piece were sprung from the deepest stratum of human imagination. Even upon multiple viewings, no two journeys are the same. 

In the artists own words: "I like to create images that feel like treasure hunts of sorts, where there are nuances and gems tucked into the image that can be savored over lots of encounters. I enjoy creating images that pair contrasting visual elements together, for example, washy textures with sharp-edged geometric shapes. Neutral colors with saturated color and highly refined more realistic representations against simple forms that are suggested, stylized, or planes of flat color. Likewise, when I am pairing figures and icons in these spaces, I seek to depict a mix of emotions, moods, and layers of meaning."
