Betsy Campen's Tropical Realism

Inspired by the colorful flowers blooming only two weeks after Hurricane Hugo struck St. Croix in 1989, Artist Betsy Campen decided to devote herself full time to her painting. “When I left Richmond, Virginia, I was just a Sunday painter,” she says. “But, after Hurricane Hugo, I found it was a lot easier to push a paint brush than a wheelbarrow.” To this day, Betsy continues to paint eight hours a day, every day.
