Painting, for Betsy C. Schreiber, is a form of communication. With a Master’s Degree in Speech Language Pathology and over 45 years of experience helping people express themselves through gestures, technology, and words, she brings a deep understanding of connection to her art.

You’ll find that she paints as if not entirely in control—letting the flow of paint and the movement of color guide her. Whether abstract or inspired by landscape, each piece is a conversation between artist and image, and ultimately, between artist and viewer.

Betsy currently works in acrylic, though she has also painted in oil and watercolor, and created several glass mosaic works. Her art has been exhibited in galleries and shows across Long Island, earning awards for her figure drawing The Nude Woman and her watercolor Apples at Chelsea Mansion in Muttontown, New York.

She is also a published poet, with two books—Shoestrings and Collar Buttons and Beach Glass and Bottle Tops. Her poems “Candles and Bulbs” and “Warrior Dance” have appeared in Who’s Who of American Poets.

For Betsy, communication is an interactive process—a give and take of thoughts, feelings, and ideas. When you engage with her work and feel something in return, a dialogue begins.
