'Another Reason' Encaustic art by Betsey Foster

NORWAY — Norway Memorial Library is exhibiting ‘Common Work and Common Places: Works in Watercolor and Encaustic’ by Betsey Foster through January 2, 2023.

Betsey Foster began painting after a career in science and journalism. Her two main art subjects are the outdoors and people working at ‘honest labor.’ Foster has painted in watercolors for ten to fifteen years. Her encaustic pieces, which use heated wax with colored pigments, have an abstract flavor and focus on the natural world. Foster says her art reflects her love of the outdoors and her deep respect and love for the people of this area. She enjoys roaming around and enjoying the mountains, woods, and rivers. When not outdoors, she works with water or fire to create art.

The library does not sell art but will supply the artist’s contact information upon request.

Norway Memorial Library is located at 258 Main Street in Norway, Maine. For more information, visit www.norwaymemoriallibrary.org or call 207-743-5309.
