Betsy Eby creates nature-based, abstract paintings that convey musical frequencies, animating the quantum entanglements of natural phenomena. Her works are meditations on undisrupted skies, habitats and oceans, calling attention to the natural rhythms of our environment, the elements and our interconnectedness within them. Each piece represents the energetic frisson shared between sentience which she refers to as a collective nervous system. With trowels, knives and heat, Eby pours, spreads and fuses paints made from organic wax and resin from trees, layering gestures of mark making.
Betsy Eby earned her BA in Art History at the University of Oregon in 1990 and has since exhibited her artworks widely, showing across the United States and Europe. Her works are held in numerous public and private collections including the Tacoma Museum of Art, the Columbus Museum of Art, the Georgia Museum of Art, the Jordan Schnitzer Museum, the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art, the Morris Museum and Ulrich Museum of Art. She and her husband, painter Bo Bartlett, split their time between studios in Columbus, Georgia, and Wheaton Island, Maine. A native to Oregon, Eby cites her early influences in the Northwest mystics, Pacific Northwest modernism and atmospheric abstraction.
