Spencer Art Gallery in Charleston, SC, Presents a Special Exhibit by Judi Betts

The Spencer Art Gallery in Charleston, SC, will present a special exhibit of recent paintings by internationally acclaimed artist Judi Betts from Apr. 15 - 19, 2002. Betts will also be available the evening of Apr. 15 to sign her books, the first of which is now in its 5th printing.

"Judi Betts is a highly respected, internationally recognized painter, instructor, juror and author." says Catherine Brandt-Spencer of the Gallery. "Although Betts' work can be seen in her books and in numerous national and international publications, we are very excited to present the Charleston community an opportunity to view her work in person."

"Judi Betts has served as juror in numerous national and international art competitions for works in all media," says Jerry Spencer, co-owner of the Spencer Gallery. "Her own awards are too numerous to list. For instance, in one year her work was selected to be exhibited in 43 national and international competitions during which she won 22 awards. Another example, she was among 16 artists selected by Walt Disney World to be exhibited in the Center's gallery during Epcot 2000. Another example, in 1999, the Artist's Magazine 1998 Annual Art Competition selected 3 of her paintings as finalist from more than 13,300 entries."

"Judi has conducted over 300 artist workshops in the USA and foreign countries. She is an artists' artist, willing to share her knowledge and techniques. In fact, she will be in Charleston conducting a workshop for the Charleston Artist Guild during the period of this exhibit," Jerry Spencer continues.

Betts' work has appeared in a nationally televised special on art as well as in several national TV shows such as Murder She Wrote, Touched By An Angel, 3rd Rock From The Sun, and more. Her work is included in numerous corporate, university, museum, public and private collections.
