Bettye Williams' artwork interweaves stories about her family, community, and growing up in Florida's Panhandle. Her paintings deal with backwoods Florida, country stores, outhouses, orange groves, watermelons, baptisms, hound dogs, roosters, and gators ... a rural poverty but never a poverty of the heart. Bettye says, "My talent to paint comes from God and I dedicate my work to Him."
"Welcome to my catalog of memories. I've dug around in my archives and tried to organize these prints of my original paintings into categories. Check them out and I'll just bet you'll see something that will make you think, 'I've been there, done that.' If not you, then your mother, or grandmother, or dear old Aunt Sally. So, get a cup of coffee or tea, rev your motor down, and we will go back to a time, a very good time to have been raised...."
