National Steeplechase Museum in Camden, SC, Features Works by Betsy Havens and Jim Calk
The National Steeplechase Museum located at Springdale Race Course in Camden, SC, will present the exhibit, Equine Poetry in Oil, featuring works by the husband and wife team of Betsy Havens and Jim Calk. The exhibit opens on Nov. 17 and continues through Dec. 18, 2007. The Colonial Cup in Camden takes place on Nov. 18, 2007.
The show by Havens and Calk will include paintings of the Springdale landscape, horses, riders, and trainers. The paintings are in oil and range in all sizes.
Betsy Havens
Havens began studying art at the age of 12 at the Telfair Museum of Art in Savannah, GA, and has continued to study and hone her skills throughout her life. She has received numerous awards and honors, and her work is widely collected by private individuals and corporations.
Jim Calk
Like his wife's work, Calk's paintings have also received numerous awards and can be found in private and corporate collections. There is, however, one major difference between them and that is in their education. In addition to being an outstanding painter, Calk's formal education was in music, and he is classically trained in piano, organ, harp and violin, truly a Renaissance man.
The National Steeplechase Museum is the only museum in the United States that is dedicated to the horses, trainers, owners, riders and races that tell the story of American Steeplechasing.
