Portraits: Of Chroma XX

Name: Betsy Lam
Price range: $

Originally inspired, moons ago, by her journalism research & lived experience, Betsy creates portraits of women whose ethnicity is often “ambiguous,” to counter the scarcity of women & girls like her depicted in media. Gaze also performs an important role here, as she explores the interplay between sensuality & vulnerability & power.

Watercolor on Paper, except where noted.

Watercolor, abstract portrait: the woman faces viewer, the frame captures her face and torso, washes of blue and purple color her hair, she wears an orange v-neck top dotted with tiny yellow speckles, she is set against a backdrop of yellow, blue, pink washes, bisected horizontally. — **Lovely Lady**
