Betty lives in Deale Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay with her husband Brian and son James.

Betty has always been fascinated with textiles -- how they feel, drape, look, and burn! After getting a Bachelor's degree in textiles she worked in a laboratory evaluating textiles for performance properties.

After working ten years in not-for-profit management, Betty returned to textiles in a creative way. She turned to silk painting to reduce job related stress and found the medium quite forgiving, inspiring and stress-free! Betty's work is inspired by nature.

Betty makes hand painted silk scarves, pillows, sarongs, and quilts for family, friends and other special people. She also provides machine quilting services for fellow quilters at her Deale studio. Betty welcomes requests for commissioned work. Contact her at betty_leppin@comcast.net or 410-867-6611.
