Her paintings

Two kinds of work.

Big textured canvases built up thick with a palette knife — and murals painted right onto the wall. Something for every wall, and every room.

Betty told me she was inspired by my mermaid photos when she painted this. Now Hazel can always remember she's a Lake Superior Mermaid at heart.

Her art

Four ways in.

Forty years of painting — people, animals, abstracts, and the landscapes and still lifes of every place she's lived.

She really captured Bruce's dancing spirit on violin. I miss this guy every day.

Why "Art Mama"

The name is a job, not a slogan.

She has run her summer art camp for years — real paint, real canvases, no worksheets, for kids and grown-ups both. A share of everything she sells goes to camp scholarships.

Glad to worship among dear friends — and to find a painting by Betty Sitbon this sunny summer morning.

These hand-painted handbags are so cool — we're absolutely swooning. The paint stays put: won't scratch, won't wash off.
