Paula Lantz head shot copy

Paula is one of those rare persons who can make and follow a detailed plan of action and yet act spontaneously in the next moment.  For the first half of her professional life, she focused on corporate jobs as a "structural planner" of employee self-improvement programs.  In  the second half she became an abstract painter.  Perhaps these seemingly contradictory abilities are innate, or perhaps she learned them along the way.

Betsy Forster: The Call and the Creative Response

November 8, 2013 Touchstone Gallery
Betsy Forster

Betsy Forster

Responding to the call of big skies and far horizons, Betsy Forster stuffs her back pack with art supplies and camera before heading into the countryside - Wyoming and Montana in the summertime and Virginia in the cooler months.  Drawing and sketching with oils, she works diligently several days a week no matter what landscape lies before her.  "I need the countryside," she states emphatically, "I need a window that faces toward a distant horizon."
