Bette Ann Libby has been a multi-disciplinary artist, working as a painter, sculptor, stoneware and with ceramic shard mosaics for over 50 years. Libby’s work reflects a variety of themes including strong women, universality of tea, love, home and the beauty of nature through her painting series “Hello Earth."

She has made art from upcycled materials using ceramic shards, discarded house paint and banners, and creates community mosaic murals. Libby has created community projects in a variety of mediums for decades. In 1999, Libby founded “Studios Without Walls” now in its 26th year in Brookline, MA, with a cohort of over 100 artists who have created 40 exhibitions since then. Over a dozen of Libby’s community mosaic murals are permanently installed in VT and MA.

Her passion is bringing communities and art together. Creating art that focuses on drawing the viewer in and making art accessible to all.
