Betsy Evans
Betsy Evans has been working with clay for the the last six years; we lured her away from her first career as a woodworker and carpenter! Currently creating in her studio at Winter Street Studios in the 1st Ward of Houston, Betsy is mostly a self-taught ceramic artist. She experiements with color, shape, and form using both throwing and handbuilding techniques. Nature provides Betsy with many of her inspirations, looking at the simplicity of the cacti shape, complex lines involved in the developement of a flower or the intricate textures in all living things.
Betsy's experience in woodworking has proved invaluable in envisioning, designing and executing the physical layout of the Gallery. She has also been a key participant in the local clay arts educational organization, ClayHouston, serving as the Festival Chair for this summer's Second Annual ClayHouston Festival event and organizing the ClayHouston member show at Hanson Galleries this fall.
