About the Artist
Betty Busby founded a custom ceramic tile manufacturing firm in Los Angeles after graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design with a ceramics degree, After nearly 20 years of running the firm, she sold the business in 1994 (it is still in operation to this day). Upon relocating to New Mexico, she changed the focus of her artwork to fiber, taking it full time in 2004. Her manufacturing background has led to constant experimentation with new materials and techniques that fuel her work. The classic fractal structures of the sub-microscopic world are a constant inspiration, as are natural processes, such as oxidation, replication and growth.
