We will be exhibiting Betsy's unique Christmas tress in December as well. Betsy's forms are created with upcycled vintage and costume jewelry and trinkets here and there.

ABOUT BETSY WILSON
Betsy G. Wilson is a self-taught artisan, working in watercolor and collage for several years. She has also always loved making beautiful things out of found objects. For these one-of-a kind artworks, she starts with a florist’s form and then covers it in carefully selected vintage and costume jewelry fragments she collects from small shops and individuals around the country. Each upcycled item is unique and cannot be replicated, but Betsy is happy to take commissions based on a certain color scheme or incorporating the client’s own family heirlooms and jewels. She and her husband Doug live in Saugerties, N.Y.
