About the Artist
Betsy Bloomfield

I was born in Seattle and raised on the shore of Lake Washington where as a child I held wild ducklings, swam with frogs and turtles, and discovered the beauty of the natural world. Northwest art was coming into its own, it and remains part of my DNA.

I have been a working artist in Yakima for over seven years and my work has been shown in solo shows, group shows, and a number of juried exhibitions in the Yakima Valley.

See just a few of my pieces below and take a look at my Characters, Books & Cards!

Upcoming Shows:
July 28 – Sept 26, 2025 at
