Bette Jaedicke is an accomplished oil and watercolor artist.  Her expressive style reflects her love of color and texture.  Bette's large oils and miniature watercolors demonstrate her versatility in both mediums, with subject matter that includes still life, florals, and animals.   Most of her paintings are completed "alla prima," an Italian term meaning "at once."  The painting is completed in one session without drying time in between.  In 2008 she began selling her art in the form of prints on tile and glass.

In 2007 one of her pieces received an award in a six-state juried show, Rocky Mountain Regional, at the Depot Gallery in Red Lodge, Montana.  In 2006 her piece, "Wine and Roses" appeared in the Scottsdale Artists' School's annual juried show, "Best and Brightest." During 2006 she participated in four invitational shows:  Bozeman and  Billings, Montana, Chattanooga, Tennessee, and at the Wilde Meyer Gallery's "Dog Days of Summer," show in Scottsdale, Arizona. In 2006 she received first prize at the Montana Institute of the Arts annual juried show in Bozeman.  One of her oil florals appears  in a book called "Best of America: Oil Artists & Artisans, 2006", Kennedy Promotions, now in print. 


Bette has been juried into the Oil Painters of America and is a signature member of the Wyoming Watercolor Society.  Her work has also been exhibited in design and home furnishing centers. She donates art annually to organizations such as the Deaconess Hospital Foundation, the Northern Rockies Radiation Oncology Center, Casting for Recovery, Faith in Practice and Refuge International, both medical missions to Guatemala. 

She is represented by the Gallery of Modern Masters in Sedona, Arizona, and Jerico Fine Arts Gallery in Cody, Wyoming (her home state).  Locally, her work is available at Lillie's Garden on Highway 191, just south of Four Corners.

Her fine art training consists of the Scottsdale Artists' School (Robert Moore, Hedi Moran, Linda Glover-Gooch), and workshops with Susan Blackwood, Robert Kuester, Mike Kirschel, Caroline Buchanan, and Marilyn Beth Hughes. Bette received her university education at San Francisco State with a B.A. in Spanish and an M.A. in TESOL. She enjoyed positions at the United Nations, Georgia Tech and several schools and colleges.  Her home and studio are located near Bozeman, Montana.  In addition to fine art, her
interests include Bible study, horse packing in the Wyoming and Montana wilderness, fly fishing, and yoga.  She makes annual trips to Guatemala as an interpreter for medical missions.

The artist welcomes visitors to her home studio and gallery.
