Different Realities

"Different Realities", self-portrait, 2008

Originally from Ohio, artist Betty Jean Skufca studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art. Her work has been on exhibit both locally and nationally.

Full of animal imagery, exquisite portraits, spiritual themes and children's fairy tales, her vibrant oil paintings are rich in fantasy combining realism, surrealism and Middle Eastern influences.

Now in her nineties, she has been painting most of her life incorporating her experiences and influences into meticulously beautiful work that reflects her fascination of Persian and Tattoo Art.
