Betsy Ore Glass
Betsy Ore Glass is a fine artist whose work is a celebration of coastal beauty, memory, and spirit. After a distinguished 30-year career in advertising and broadcasting she transitioned to the arts, following a deep, lifelong connection to the ocean and the natural world.
Her creative journey began with photography as a freelance contributor to several newspapers on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, where she rekindled her passion for capturing the subtleties of light, water, and shoreline. These visual moments inspired Reflections by the Sea, a beloved weekly column blending her photographs and written reflections on nature, faith, and coastal living.
Over time, Betsy’s photography evolved into a painting practice, where she found her true artistic voice through the luminous softness of pastels, vibrancy of oil and acrylics. Today, she is best known for her evocative seascapes, coastal scenes, and occasional portraits—all imbued with warmth, joy, and a deep sense of place. Her paintings reside in private collections and are regularly exhibited throughout Florida and the Southeast.
In addition to her visual work, Betsy is the author of two published books: Reflections by the Sea (April 2022) and Christmas Traditions (November 2022), which further reflect her love for storytelling and the coastal life that inspires her.
