SIERRA COUNTY ARTS COUNCIL FEATURED ARTIST.......

10/6/2020

0 Comments

 
​Betty Thatcher of Loyalton has been recognized by the Sierra County Arts Council as a featured artist in our Sierra County Artist Program.  Betty creates beautiful watercolors inspired by her love of country living and Sierra County.  Betty began her art career at the Loyalton Senior Center in 2009, where Lola Owen was teaching classes.  Many artists in Sierra County were mentored by Lola who was an artist and gallery owner originally from Tahoe.  Betty found her own style, painting whimsical watercolors that capture the spirit and personality of her subject whether it is the Sierra Valley, historic barns and buildings, old cars, people, or a variety of animals including happy pigs, strutting chickens and graceful antelope. As her friend Kathleen Goicoechea commented recently, “Betty’s watercolors are painterly”.  Watercolor is the most immediate and unforgiving of mediums.  There are no second chances.  Betty has perfected her creative talent, using a variety of techniques that often she has discovered on her own.   Betty was instrumental in bringing Barn Quilts to the Sierra Valley.  Her art is currently featured at the Lombardi Mercantile in Loyalton and in the hallway in the old pharmacy building in Loyalton. The Lombardi Mercantile features local arts and crafts and provides art and craft workshops through “Creamery Classes”.  Contact the Mercantile at 530-993-4331.  Email: thatcherb63@gmail.com Facebook: Betty Williams Clark Thatcher.  See her on the Sierra County Arts Council Facebook and Instagram pages.  #sierracountyartscouncil #loyalton #sierravalley
