Betty Slade
Betty Slade draws from 40 years of painting and 40 years of Bible study and teaching. She has a wealth of knowledge in the Word and has experienced every facet in the art field. Of her life, Betty says she has two passions, her faith in the Lord Jesus and the arts. She loves to share her knowledge and help others who desire to grow personally and professionally in the arts.
Betty has owned her own gallery, retail and wholesale, had a TV program series and her own publishing company. She has written and self-published two poetry books and two study books on the Bible. She has hung in many galleries, worked for a national e-magazine, and the past ten years the Princess Cruise Line has carried her prints. The Santa Fe Art Brokerage Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico carries her work.
For the past two years. Betty has written The Artist Spirit for the local paper and is now writing The Artisan for the Pagosa Artisans’ Co-op.
She joined with other Pagosa artists to encourage up-and-coming artists and shows with established artists.
Betty has evolved as a person and artist over the years, her art reflects those changes. She started in oils in 1965, moved into watercolors in the 1980 and her 2008 series is a combination mixed media. From more traditional landscape paintings,
through the Southwest period to her recent more impressionist pieces, Betty keeps stretching to experiment with colors and design.
Her 4,000 square foot studio and gallery next door to her home with her husband Al, shows the span of her work and gives opportunity to host Artist and Writer’s Retreats and teach painting.
Betty offers workshops for groups in your area. They are fun and casual yet carry the depth that the soul desperately hungers for. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from Betty’s vast wealth of knowledge as an artist. Betty Slade helps her students find a spiritual voice in the arts. Students are surprised to discover themselves and their gifts as they experience the arts.
