What to Expect
Betty Sawatzky has been drawing and canvas painting for many years. She started teaching alcohol ink on ceramic tile shortly after taking a tutorial at an art show in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan 10 years ago. Betty has taught alcohol ink art at the International Peace Garden, the Killarney (Manitoba) Art Centre and the Boissevain (Manitoba) Art Centre.
Betty also has a passion for charcoal art and has won multiple awards for her charcoal drawings including Best of Show, and People's Choice Award at the Westman Juried Art Show in Western Manitoba. In 2022 Betty was awarded the Best of Show 1st Place at the Manitoba Society of Artists at the Open Juried Competition and Exhibition in Winnipeg, MB for her whimsical charcoal piece of her second son, Brian reading the story of the 3 Bears to his 3 boys, with the bears in the picture as well, listening intently!
As a journalist for Golden West Broadcasting, she can be found at her computer keyboard writing the news for the Westman Region in Manitoba. When she's not writing articles or delving into a new art piece, she is relaxing on the deck with her husband enjoying the calm and quiet of Killarney Lake where they live.
