Acupuncture & Springfield Art Walk

Betsy Huffsmith paints from the level of her heart. Fluidity and a natural bliss are the hallmarks of her work. Wise Turtle Acupuncture is honored to display Betsy’s painting for the January 12, 2018  Downtown Springfield Second Friday Art Walk.

Betsy’s life is intertwined with art and has been for most of her life. She called the midwest home for 25 years. She owned and operated the Skyline Gallery for 6 years. Many homes across the country are graced with her paintings. For 15 years she has sold greeting cards with her images printed on them.

Eugene has been home to Betsy for the last ten years. She is fascinated by all that nature provides and is drawn to colors, textures and patterns found in the land, water and forests. Regional places you may recognize, such as Odell Lake, are included in her work.

She begins by applying medium (thick paste) with a palette knife to create texture and pattern. She also squeezes thick glue onto the canvass to form a bead that looks like trees, roots, and veins in flower petals.

Cards, prints and original pieces are available at New Zone Art Gallery, 220 W. 8th St, Eugene, OR. Her cards are sold at Capella Market, Friendly Street Market, Sundance Natural Foods and New Frontier Market.

Come enjoy healthy snacks and wine at the Art Walk up on the second floor of the Emerald Art Center at Wise Turtle Acupuncture and In Motion Pilates. The Art Walk runs from 5-8pm. It is possible that there may be some live therapeutic harp music. Art, healing music, healthy treats: come on up!
