About the Artist
Betty Carlson first came to the Santa Fe area in 1958, and she was immediately captivated by the contrast with the Midwest she had left behind. Betty's love for this part of the country is expressed through her colorful contemporary renderings of the people, architecture, and landscapes of the Southwest. She works in oil, acrylic, and watercolor to capture the light and shadow designs and rainbow colors created by New Mexico's unique atmosphere.

About Santa Fe
Santa Fe is called The City Different for a host of reasons - its distinctive adobe architecture, its colorful and spirited history as a Spanish colonial capital, its enthusiastic celebration of the arts, its magnificent high desert setting at the foot of the Rocky Mountains.
