The sculpture captures a common scene outside her gallery where Betty is sitting on a bench on a warm, sunny afternoon. Betty is credited with creating the first Kirkland Art walk. The art walk now is the 2nd Thursday of every month. Several galleries participate by staying open late.
Lisa Sheets is a local artist that concentrates on the female form. Her goal is to depict the unique characteristics of individual women, creating an effect and a beauty that is realistic rather than idealized. This piece is a gift to the city by the Woods family.
