Betsy Walton

Betsy Walton is a Kansas born, now Portland based artist who makes some pretty incredible paintings. A mix of heavily saturated colors, angular geometric lines and shapes, and natural landscapes and characters, they are sort of abstracted delineated portraits of surreal places and designs. She paints with gouache, which has always been an extremely difficult medium for me, so these paintings are doubly impressive when i think of all the work that must be put in to them. She has designed for Poketo, done covers for The Portland Mercury, Collaborated with Irana Douer, and made a crap ton of awesome art. Here are some pictures of her work, and a link to her website. Stay pretty.
