Betty Wick
Most importantly, Betty Wick considers her lifetime of art to be a series of personal expressions that evolve the flow of visual imagery, created from all sectors of invention. She relies unquestionably towards imagination rather than reality. It is a progression that shows up repeatedly in her work, and offers the freedom she needs to create an honest representation of how she views the life around her.
Displayed in national and international galleries, Betty Wick’s work has been preserved by private collectors from around the world. She has worked as an illustrator enhancing articles for The Boston Globe and The Washington Post. She was commissioned for limited editions by Warner Bros. Studio Stores, The Ford Motor Corporation, and Jonny Cat Corporation. Additionally, Betty Wick has created wall murals for private clients, and art murals for Emercy Wines and Dilécta Wines. She is also an illustrator for children’s books, and has been featured in the latest publication of Phantom Drift literary magazine.
