Bette Uscott-Woolsey

Description

Bette Uscott-Woolsey discusses her unique technique for creating art by combining both fabric and acrylic paint. She talks about some of the artists she admires and other art that inspires her own art. She discusses how she balances creating art and working her day job, her background and education in art, her family's interest in art and quilting, and her favorite and least favorite aspects of creating her unique art form. Uscott-Woolsey talks about people not appreciating her unique blend of fabric and paint in her art and how she is not truly accepted by either the fine art world or the quilt world.
