Betsy Schulthess Paintings

Artist Betsy Schulthess is a native of New Hampshire and works primarily with oil paint. She sketches her subjects before recreating their whimsical character with loose brushstrokes and bright colors. Taking pure joy in her artwork, Betsy  uses her keen observation of the world around her to capture her subjects. Using a painterly style, her oil paintings of animals and people contain a whimsical, playful element while masterfully conveying light and shadow. Of her work and process, she says “I endeavor to weave into my paintings the light, the color, shapes and forms of the wonderful subjects in our midst.” Ms. Schulthess is represented by galleries all over New England and has been featured in art shows and magazines.
