Bettie Sperty is a local artist living in Manassas, Va.Her style runs from the fun, colorful and whimsical to the fine detail of Tromp L’oeil. She enjoys working in a variety of mediums, which include acrylics, oils, pen and ink, colored pencil and clay. Most of her pottery pieces are hand built and showcase her attention to detail. Bettie’s artwork showcases her attention to fine detail and it seems that her paintings and her pottery pieces will usually have some type of shine or sparkle. It may be a touch of metallic foils, color shifting paints, fine glitter or even tiny gems.
In her own words she says, “I don’t try to change the world or make a social or political statement with my artwork. My goal is simply to enjoy what I am doing and create something for others to enjoy, as well. With my art I hope it to pause for a moment, make your eyes happy, touch your heart or even laugh out loud”.
Bettie Sperty has won awards in galleries in Maryland and Virginia including the Torpedo Factory, the Lorton Workhouse and local Prince William County art galleries. Her artwork is held in private collections all across the United States.
