“When I started Laney Contemporary in 2008, I was sort of looking around for what was next after closing the Jack Leigh Gallery,” says Susan Laney. “I hadn’t planned on opening a gallery space, not specifically anyway. But I knew that I wanted to start working with artists that weren’t just photographers because I’d only worked with photographers in the past. And I was starting to personally have really strong interests in other forms of art and what was being made in and around Savannah. I was also having clients that were looking for certain things, so all of it led me to Betsy… I knew that I wanted to show her work. I knew that I wanted to have her as a part of what we’re doing, because I think that she’s one of the jewels here.”
