Meet the Maker:
Name: Betsy Jacks
What county do you live in?: Columbia
Biography: I am a Hudson Valley-based visual artist and writer. I grew up in New York City, was Director of Marketing for the Whitney Museum of American Art, and established an art practice in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in the 1990s. From 2003 through 2024 I was the Director of the Thomas Cole National Historic Site – an art museum and home of the 19th-century landscape painter, where I oversaw the production of twenty-five art exhibitions and the publication of thirty books. In 2025, I was awarded New York State’s Individual Achievement Award for my service to museums. During the last decade I exhibited my artwork widely in the Hudson Valley and Catskills, including at the Arkell Museum, Boscobel House, Brik Gallery, CREATE gallery, LABSpace, Lyndhurst Mansion, Joust, the Spencertown Academy, Sugar Maples Center for Creative Arts, Super Secret Projects in Beacon, and Woodstock Artists Association, and my work is in the collection of the Albany Institute of History & Art. I have a degree in studio art and art history from Duke University and studied at the Arts Students League in New York City and at Syracuse University in Florence, Italy. I currently live in Chatham with my husband and two daughters.
What year did you start living/working in the Hudson Valley?: 2003
What are some of your favorite things to do in the region?: I love to visit the Thomas Cole Historic Site, where I worked for 21 years, as well as the numerous art galleries and open studio events. I also love all of the “pick your own” places and look forward to strawberry season, apple picking, and choosing our own Halloween pumpkins.

Artist’s note: The art of botanical dyeing is so unique because each piece is different from one another. The magic of nature is that there's no way to replicate it.
