Betty Chen Louis butterfly from a 2009 EGA Regional Seminar
Betty Chen Louis is, quite simply, a marvelous needlepoint artist. Her work is creative, beautiful, and interesting. And, luckily for us, she shares it with us by being an outstanding teacher as well.
The pictures throughout this article are of many of her pieces, put her to inspire you.
New York Cityscape by Betty Chen Louis from ANG exhibit
Sue Dulles wrote a phenomenal post recently about Betty and what is behind those designs we love so well. We often think that a design springs into being full-formed and ready to go. But that isn’t really the case.
Designing is hard work and requires time, patience, and revisions.
Two Cityscape hearts by Betty Chen Louis taught at 2009 ANG Seminar
My two favorite types of Betty’s pieces are her Cityscapes and her lovely oriental pieces. I love the way she captures the vibrant textures of skyscrapers, with the limited palette, but never making them dull. And her mastery of oriental design is unmatched.
Read about the process, be inspired by her work, and look for her to teach a class. You won’t regret it.
