Betsy Kreisberg finds inspiration and a wealth of subject matter in Biscayne National Park’s 172,000 watery acres. Many of her favorite painting subjects are those of water and reflections. Reflections are metaphors for the concept that art mirrors life, as well as an actual example of that relationship. Both the reflection and the subject are real, but the reflection cannot exist without the subject, just as art cannot exist without the life that inspires and creates it.
