Betty Franks
Hills & Valleys - Fun, Warm, Colorful, Vibrant Abstract Painting - Betty Franks

2023

About the Item

"Hills & Valleys" is a beautiful and bright abstract acrylic painting created by San Jose, CA based artist, Betty Franks. This square painting features warm tones of pinks, yellows, orange, earthy reds, grays and beige. "Hills & Valleys" is 36"w x 36"h unframed and is ready to hang. Fields of Flowers Exhibition: Fields of Flowers immerses viewers in the vibrance and expressiveness of Betty’s large-scale, abstract paintings. Taking inspiration from hikes in the California mountains and walks within neighborhoods, Betty’s work explores the chaos, balance, and beauty found in nature where color, texture, and form create complex dialogues. It was while picking wildflowers during walks with her mother in Croatia that she was inspired to translate that experience into layers of acrylic paint, pencil markings, energetic brushstrokes and colorful forms. At first chaotic, it is in this arena that Betty uses intuitive mark- making, layering to both reveal and conceal, and changes in hue to bring a careful balance between order and disorder. Betty Franks was born in Toronto, Canada, and raised in San Jose, California. She is a self-taught abstract artist who started painting when she turned 50. Although it seemed late in life to take up painting, the timing was just right for her.

There is a beige cracked egg shell to the left side of the painting and at the top and top right sit two whole blue eggs. This piece measures at 24" x 24" and is ready to hang. About the Artist: Samantha Buller received her BFA in painting from the Academy of Art University San Francisco and now paints full time in her home studio in Northern California. Her work reflects the beautiful light and modernism that is found in the area. Samantha's artwork is striking, happy, and experimental. She utilizes imaginative color layering and lively brushwork to invite a fresh take on familiar, common place objects. She is inspired by the art of the late Wayne Thiebaud, especially in his paint application, color pallet and composition. Buller is also inspired by the artist Raimonds Staprans for his layering techniques. Samantha studied a semester abroad in Italy, which greatly influenced her love and passion for art. Buller's work has been shown in the Hall of Justice downtown San Francisco, in businesses and several galleries, as well as on the set of a prime time...
