Betsy Walton: spontaneous and inspired paintings

Betsy Walton is a painter and illustrator (freelance since 2006) based in Portland, Oregon. As a painter she works with galleries and collectors, and on personal projects, exploring the tension and balance between the mysterious nature of our existence and the objects and environments we find in everyday life.
