Betty Grisham was born and raised in small towns in Missouri but has lived a majority of her adult life in northern Virginia. She graduated with a B.S. in Art Education from Missouri State University.

Her work primarily consists of realistic oil paintings on canvas. She also sometimes works with pastel, colored pencil, and gouache on paper. She enjoys a variety of subject matter - still life, landscapes, pet portraits, and the human figure, especially portraits of infants and children. In her representational work, she often depicts intricate detail, pattern, transparencies, and reflections. Recently she has been working on larger canvases, borrowing elements of glassware reflected on metal to create fluid, lyrical, abstractions.

Betty illustrated a book for children, BLUE LEWIS AND SASHA THE GREAT written by her friend Carol Donsky Newell. It contains twenty-one illustrations rendered in gouache and colored pencil. The book and a few of the originals are still available for purchase in her studio. The book is also for sale on Amazon.com.

Betty considers commissions of all types of subject matter. She is known locally for her many pet portraits. Her prices range from around $450.00 to $5000. Most of her larger pieces are $1200 to $2100. See her page on the Commissions site for more information.
