Betsy Thompson is a largely self-taught visual artist living in Charleston, SC.
In addition to work in Infectious Diseases, she specializes in animal studies, having practiced charcoal, graphite, and oil paintings consistently since 2015.
She has collected a following for her emotive pet portraits, while also supporting national and global conservation efforts through non-commissioned work celebrating the emotion, diversity, and creativity inherent in the natural world.
Still in the planning stages, future projects aim to use public mural works to explore our community’s connection to its ecology and natural history – making fine art and the creative journey accessible to all.
