Betsy Jones McDonald
Artist Bio


Betsy Jones McDonald has loved painting and drawing as long as she can remember. Betsy received her formal art training at Columbus State University. Her eye for design was put to work as a design manager in her years working in advertising and visual merchandising.


In the early 1990's, she began doing murals for schools, businesses and private residences around Columbia, S.C., which is when McDonald realized her true love lay in large-format painting. She’s pursued oil-on-canvas as her preferred medium ever since. She paints using only the primary colors, (red, yellow and blue), along with white, and custom mixes all of the colors in her paintings.
Betsy is a member of Oil Painters of America, National Oil and Acrylic Painters' Society, American Impressionist Society, American Women Artists as well as the Mt Pleasant Artists Guild. You can view her work at Perspective Art Gallery in Mt Pleasant, S.C. ,  Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet, S.C., MISC Art Gallery in Murrells Inlet, S.C. and Lowcountry Artists Gallery in Charleston, S.C.


McDonald divides her time between Charleston, S.C. and Richmond, Va.  Both locations provide endless inspiration for her art.
​
 “I love the colors of the marsh, and the way they change with the seasons and the tides,” she says. “Every time you look at the marsh, you see something different, and I’m fascinated by that.”
