ABOUT BETSY ROSS Following voice and English studies at Ohio University and Bradley, she left for Europe with her husband in 1964. Since then, they have lived in various countries, spending the majority of their time in Geneva, Switzerland. Betsy began her painting in the early 1980’s by studying Swiss naive art. As her flower and Swiss Alpine motifs came into demand, her studies turned into a profession. Her first award-winning show in 1985 launched a series of successful exhibits in Europe and the U.S. Her works may now be found in museums, galleries and private collections worldwide. Her affection and fond remembrances of her rural Ohio childhood and idyllic charm of the Swiss mountains are the main subjects of her art and writing. While private collectors own most of her originals, Betsy’s reputation in the public sector is well documented. Chosen by Nestle Corporation for their winter 1999 and 2000 Premium Chocolate Gift Box, Betsy’s paintings contributed to exceptional sales figures for these holiday seasons. Due to this success, Nestle has repeatedly been using Betsy’s works for their Holiday packaging. UNICEF has regularly chosen Betsy’s works since 1991 as a featured artist in their Christmas Card collection. In 1996, “Buchanan Square” was chosen among the works of hundreds of artists to be featured on the cover of its 50th Anniversary Edition Catalog. Betsy has also painted and conducted one woman shows for the Sauder Living Museum as well as having a gallery with the Longaberger Company, both in Ohio. She has recently painted a campus scene for the University of Virginia, Wise. The donated sale of this painting at auction was a huge success benefiting the University’s scholarship fund. Betsy’s art works are sold in galleries around the world and can be viewed in London, Geneva, Gstaad, Miami, Ohio, and Virginia. Betsy is a member of Daughters of the American Revolution and Colonial Dames. She lives in Naples, Florida where she has her main studio. With dual American and Swiss citizenship, she divides her time between Ohio, Florida, Geneva and London. Links
