It is said that life imitates art, but Betsey Hurd will tell you that her paintings seek to imitate the nuances of her very equestrian life. Horses are more than half-ton herbivores to her; they are inspiration and a way of life.
Hurd was recently chosen as this year’s Treasured Montana Artist, an honor bestowed by Secretary of State Linda McCulloch. An exhibit of Hurd’s work will be on display until May 2012 in the front lobby of McCulloch’s office, located in the state Capitol in Helena.
