Bio
Betsy J. Constantine is an artist who works in sculpture, photography, and painting. Her stone sculpture has been exhibited throughout the northeast; her photography will be shown for the first time at the Griffin Museum of Photography in March, 2013.
In college, Betsy’s interests ranged over both art and science. She spent much of her professional career as a scientist analyzing masses of multidimensional data from physical and behavioral observations in an effort to discover patterns and implications.
In 1967, she enrolled in a Harvard Extension course in fine art photography with Arthur Siegel, where the work of Aaron Siskind and others opened her eyes to the joy of close observation, a watershed experience whose influence persists to this day.
In recent years, Betsy has studied abstract photography with Robert Moll and Christopher Gaffney and has explored other media in courses at the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, the Concord Art Association, Massachusetts College of Art, Montserrat College of Art, and the Danforth Museum. In various media, she practices close observation with an analytical eye to find interesting form, line and pattern, even in the most mundane of subjects.
Betsy is a juried member of the New England Sculptors Association and the Cambridge Art Association.
