Gallery 1855 at the Davis Cemetery Presents:

Betty Berteaux and Sue Owens Wright

Gustave Courbet wrote, “The beautiful is in nature, and it is encountered under the most diverse forms of reality. Once it is found it belongs to art, or rather to the artist who discovers it.” Betty Berteaux’s work is a long journey of discovering these diverse forms. Betty has walked in beauty and harmony in the Davis area for over 27 years, and her vision is one of clarity expressed through the delicate shimmer of watercolor. Betty’s work is being featured, along with that of artist/writer Sue Owens Wright, at Gallery 1855.

Wright, a mystery novelist of some repute, has the unique ability to write in both words and pictures. Wright’s visual work is a unique blend of visual poetry and exquisite pastel technique. Her pictorial style, reminiscent of Robert Demachy or George Seely, at the turn of the previous century, comes alive in her pastel work.

This two-person show is on exhibition from September 1st through the 30th at Gallery 1855, located on the historic Davis Cemetery grounds at 820 Pole Line Road (corner of Pole Line Road and E. 8th Street) in Davis.

The free Open House and Reception will be held on September 12th between the hours of 1 P.M. and 4 P.M. where you can meet both of these artists and enjoy their work. The gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday 9 A.M.-3 P.M. Please call (530) 756-7807 for more information.
