Betty McGeehan


About

Betty McGeehan is a self-taught artist whose career spans 40 years. It includes stone carving, bronze casting, aluminum, bronze fabrication and found objects. In response to corporate collectors, she traveled to Italy to execute marble commissions, and has worked with Johnson Atelier and Tallix foundries to produce sculptures for public installation.
McGeehans early work was cerebral and pure, and less about mystery and heart.
Since 1993, the work evolved into found object assemblage using antique elements.
They are gentle meditations of loss and reconciliation, connections between generations and reverberations of past lives. Her attention to detail and understanding of fine
craftsmanship allow for a marriage of materials that seem utterly seamless and natural. They are provocative juxtapositions of images and subjects. The themes have expanded to explore the pressures, challenges and choices facing women,
and an exploration of individual identity. Using bent wood and bamboo, her latest work concerns deforestation.
