Inside the Studio of Bettie Sperty
A newish feature for our PWAS Artistry Spin Blog is "Inside the Studio of..." which will feature the Prince William Art Society member's studios. For our third studio in this series of blog posts, this studio belongs to Prince William Art Society member, Bettie Sperty who gives us a view into her creative space.
Prince William Art Society Member, Bettie Sperty
Bettie Sperty joined PWAS before COVID (BC) so she's been in the art group a number of years. We were thrilled at one meeting in October 2022 where she was our guest speaker and gave an exciting program on her tips and techniques of "adding a little sparkle to your art". Here are a few past posts with Betty:

And she is giving a Metallic Foil Leafing class this weekend (Sept 7, 2024) that I was able to sign up for and am very much looking forward to. As a matter of fact, the registration for the class filled up so fast, I'm sure she will need to do a second one!
Let's Take a Peek into Bettie's Studio
“When my daughters left the nest, I took over the bedroom with the most windows to use as my art room. And I think I’ve done a great job of cramming as much as possible into the space! We have an “older house” with small bedrooms and even less closet space, so I store my artwork all over the walls of the house. This room has my small stuff covering the walls. I have a great view, good light and it’s all mine. My husband has taken over the lower family room as his music room, so I often get to listen to him work on his “art" as I work on something myself. It’s an ever changing mess in here (and somewhat like a big cartoon) but I love having the space to call my own.“
