I was born and raised in small towns in Missouri but have lived most of my adult life in northern Virginia. I graduated with a B.S. in Art Education from Missouri State University and studied painting at The Art League in Alexandria, Virginia.
My work primarily consists of realistic oil paintings on canvas. I also sometimes work with pastels, colored pencil, and gouache on paper. I enjoy a variety of subject matter - still life, landscape, pets, and figures. In my representational work, I often depict intricate detail, pattern, transparencies, and reflections. I like to borrow elements of glassware and metal to create fluid, lyrical, abstractions.

I illustrated a book for children, BLUE LEWIS AND SASHA THE GREAT authored by my 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 my studio.

My prices begin as low as $75.00. Small to medium-sized paintings are $350 to $650. Larger pieces are $850.00 to $2,500. Triptych and diptychs larger than 48" are higher. I consider commissions of all types of subject matter. See my work on the Commissions page on this website for more information and check out my personal website www.bettygrishamstudio.com.

My days and hours in the studio vary so please call for an appointment if you would like to visit me to discuss a possible commission and look at your reference photos.
