Maestro Artwork

BETTY GLICK is a Boston area artist painting primarily in oils and gouache. Her work is abstract, expressive, and luminous. She sees the process of painting as an exploration into the hidden patterns underlying what we see on the surface. Recently she has become seriously interested in the expressive possibilities of digital painting using a touch screen (iPad). Betty started her artistic life as a potter, but began painting seriously after the death of her father in 1999. She has a BA from Swarthmore College and an MA from Boston University. She studied painting at the Danforth Museum School with Michael Dowling, and he remains her mentor. In addition to her solo exhibits, she has participated in group shows at many Boston area galleries including Albright Art (Wellesley), Gallery 55 (Natick), LynnArts, and the Danforth Museum. Institutional collectors include Wellesley College Permanent Art Collection, Hebrew Senior Life, Afers Publishing (Valencia, Spain), and the Monastery of San Girolamo, (San Gimignano, Italy). Other work experience includes book translation (Spanish to English, for various University Presses including Cambridge, Oxford, and New Mexico), substitute art teaching, and adult education teaching of pottery and painting.
