Lauren Betty Art

“There is a rhythm that exists here on the farm. Beginning with the rise of the sun and the sounds of nature awakening. My art is a reaction to this sense of place. Whether I am in the studio, tending to the animals, or farming the land, its all relative to the art that is created. I bring this to the canvas transforming fabric and collage into compositions that convey an emotion or place. We use fabric to cover from the elements, to warm our bodies, to shade ourselves from the sun, depending on the fabric to protect us. Overlooking its fragility because of the strength of its purpose. I use the fabric to depict the fragile balance that exists in nature and in our everyday lives. Nature’s dynamic color demands my attention and is portrayed in subtle glimpses on the canvas. With the use of up cycled water from the paint buckets, the fabric is dyed and applied as collage. The sense of being is sitting in a space that I nurture and it nurtures me. This space is a reminder of the poetic balance that nature on the farm has given to my approach on art.”
