I am always excited when the cutting-edge Laney Contemporary Gallery hangs a new show. But when it’s a show created by a nationally acclaimed artist who happens to be a friend, I am beyond excited! Don’t miss “The Nature of Not Knowing” by Betsy Cain, hanging this Friday, January 7.
A native of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Cain received both her BFA and MFA degrees from The University of Alabama, experiencing formative undergraduate work at Auburn University and Instituto Allende, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. After the culmination of a national grant through New Mexico’s Roswell Museum and Art Center in 1981, Betsy and photographer husband David Kaminsky moved to Savannah where she has maintained an independent studio practice for four decades. It is fun to look back on my studio visits over the years – everything from a gorgeous space overlooking the canopy of live oaks on Wright Square to the rather sinister former abattoir, Meddin Meat Packing Company, on Louisville Road.
