Art by Betty Jenkins
Betty Jenkins studied under various British Columbia watercolour artists. She maintains a small working studio in her home nestled among trees, flowers and hostas. She also teaches numerous classes through the year and looks forward each summer to teaching at the "PEI School of the Arts" in North Rustico. She works primarily in watercolour and paint on various papers.
Light and shadow intrigue me and form the basis of my paintings. This is evident in my Prince Edward Island landscapes and florals. Watercolour is a wonderful medium. It lends itself beautifully to simplicity of shape and contrast. The liquidity and unpredictability of the medium demand constant adjusting and adapting. In watercolour the process leads the artist.
