Bettye likes to think of her glass pieces as fancy and fun. By using iridized and dichroic specialty glass, she adds a touch of elegance to the fancy stylized figures. Fun shows up in the totems and in her colorful depiction of birds and fishes. Her fused glass wall pieces were first shown in a very successful exhibit titled Translations, an exhibit at UUSM Art Wall. For this exhibit she “translated” into fused glass ideas from the figures, birds, and heart pieces she enjoyed making in clay.
