"McGowan’s painting, Wave, is a non-objective piece. And while the wave seems natural and spontaneous, McGowan said there was a lot of preparation involved: she made 118, 5 x 7 sketches to create an “interesting shape. “For me it was more of a process of finding the swoop of the stroke,” she says."

Betty's journey of becoming an accomplished artist was featured in the Durham Region local newspaper on January 15th.
