Overview

Contemporary artist Betsy Eby embraces big themes and her work is pervaded by spirituality and sublimity, as are the paintings of Anselm Keifer and Cy Twombly, two artists she much admires. A practicing pianist, Eby creates sublime images of nature that are as deeply influenced by classical music as by a sense of place.
