Lorraine Betts

I am a prairie girl—I grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where I raised my family, a son and a daughter.  I also have 3 beautiful grandchildren.  I spent my working life in Winnipeg as a Secretary in various Law firms and my last 21 working years as an Administrator for the politicians at Winnipeg City Council.  I retired to the beautiful city of Vernon, and took up an interest in painting—and that’s when all the fun began!   I have recently moved to Kelowna.  I paint mainly with acrylics and I have taken many workshops at interesting places learning my craft.   

I love beautiful things, and I love this gorgeous planet we live on with its delicate and bold beauty.  I want to be able to see as much of it as I possibly can with the time I have left on it.  I want to paint it and lose myself in the art of capturing it.  I love painting outdoors in it. 

I love colour—vibrant warm colour, and I like to paint in a semi-abstract “group of seven” style. 

 I will always be challenged to try to capture the lovely, the beautiful, the enchanting world made by my Creator.
