In her native New York, Betty was a commercial artist for five years, before taking time out to raise her family. She began exhibiting fine art when her children were young, first in Chicago and later in Indianapolis. She taught art classes once her youngest was in school. She also worked as a watercolor artist with the Metropolitan Arts Council of Indianapolis for three years. Betty and her family lived in Columbus, Indiana for 25 years, before returning to Indianapolis. Betty had a large studio in Columbus where she taught painting classes. She stressed that painting, like any other talent, gets better with practice. Betty told her students that if they could make an appointment with a dentist or a hairdresser, they could make an appointment with themselves to do something that they enjoy. She is proud that many of her students are now her competition.
