Betty Levy was born in Argentina and exhibited a very creative nature at an early age. She told me, "I like to paint for the joy of it." The image you see below was painted when she was in Greece. She went to a pottery workshop taught by the man you see in the image below.
As a young person living in the Miami Beach area of Florida she had two notable accomplishments -- wining first place in the Canada Art Show 1984 and winning first place in the same year at a show at the Surfside Recreation Department. While in Miami she was an understudy to a remarkable painter -- Juan Manuel Segovia.
Betty Levy's paintings include an eclectic mixture of subjects--perhaps a photograph she has taken while traveling, or a photo from a fellow student that catches her fancy or someone she actually knows. I've often watched this process transpire in the classroom...she will see an image she connects with and the words that come out of her mouth are, "I'd love to paint that!"
Our first painting comes from the picture you see below that was taken while she was traveling...
The peasant...the woman...the warrior.
and Guitar...
And the Grandfather and Grandson...
An enduring subject, powerfully portrayed.

Betty is a special lady and God gave her a special talent; the faces are so realistic. You can feel her heart and soul are in her work. Thank you for sharing this with us Mimi...and thank you for reading and your comments on my blog.
