This is my favorite painting of Betty's.  The pinks are just extraordinary.  It's currently in storage but you can view it here.

I have the paint palette Betty is using in this photo in my attic.  Just a year before her death a neighbor returned it - Betty's palette had been sitting on the top of her fridge - in Betty's former art studio - for over 40 years.

This was the last photo taken of Betty.  It was commissioned for the NY Times piece that ran after lockdown. Grayson and I drove into Manhattan on a Friday afternoon.  The two of them were being total jerks.  To get Betty to smile, I was flashing my boobs - mooning her.  We were all giggling and having a great time.  I didn't know it would be our last time together.

Our Favorite Characters

This photo was used in a Ms. Magazine piece about their favorite characters in the Feminist movement.  I wish they showed Betty a bit more respect.  Notice she's wearing her cunt buckle.
