“I am a creative and have been since I was old enough to pick up a pencil or paint brush. Painting and drawing have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My parents valued the arts and encouraged me to pursue a career in visual art. I graduated with a BFA in Art Education from The University of Texas and a master’s degree in Art Education from Texas Tech University. In addition to my own artistic practice, I taught art in Texas public schools for 30 years. More recently I worked as an Assistant Professor of Instruction and Field Supervisor at UT Austin. In 2019 I was honored to receive the Texas Art Education Association’s award of Art Educator of the Year for Higher Education and in 2021 was named a TAEA Distinguished Fellow.” Betsy Murphy
