Welcome to
the colorful world of Betty Jameson!
Within this virtual gallery you will find splashes of color artfully
applied in a manner only an artist dedicated to her craft can do. Please
feel free to wander about the pages, learning Betty's history and
philosophy, recognizing her awards. Take a stroll in one of the
gallery pages and imagine one of her paintings proudly hanging in your
living room. And when you're ready, find out how you can make one your own
