| Bettie Rikansrud received a BA in Art at UC Santa Barbara, with an emphasis in painting and printmaking. After a career in teaching, she moved to Julian with her husband where she has devoted more time to painting in her studio, en plein air, and taking private lessons. While oil is her medium of choice, Bettie also paints with acrylics and watercolor. She is a member of the California Art Club and has been a member of the Julian Arts Guild for several years. Bettie was a featured artist for The Ramona Art Gallery in 2007. She exhibits works at The Julian Art Gallery, The Banner Queen Gallery on Hwy. 78, and bi-annually with the Julian Arts Guild at the town hall. For the last 3 years, she has been on the annual Julian Open Studios Tour. Bettie’s love of painting has been inspired by the incredible atmosphere and light which permeates the Julian back country. |
