Betsey Gravatt is a senior at the University of North Texas. She is currently studying Studio Art with a concentration in Drawing and Painting. She makes non-representational, mixed media paintings and clay sculptures using vibrant colors and clashing geometric and organic shapes. She is inspired by the varying degrees of interaction between the natural and man-made worlds, and how people adapt to live in these environments. She tries to depict this theme non-representationally, though the colors and shapes that she uses. Find her work on her website or on instagram .
