Betty Atkinson: About the Artist Long-time respected Alaskan colorist, Atkinson says of her work, "I have been drawing and painting all my life. Along with the Great Masters, I have been influenced by the early California Impressionists. I paint the Alaskan landscape because it is so compelling; the land's vastness and mystery, its monumental shapes and bold colors, are a constant inspiration." One of Atkinson's trademarks is her combination of reality and imagination.
