Betty Scarpino’s contemporary wood sculptures combine fluid motion with intricate detail. Her creative energy draws people to her, and numerous awards have come her way. Scarpino was born in 1949 in Wenatchee, Washington. Her career began in the seventies, when she began making furniture and producing purely functional pieces.

She has a degree in industrial arts from the University of Missouri where she also studied woodcarving and wood sculpture. While these early years did not develop artistic innovation, Scarpino mastered the techniques that now allow her to create wood sculpture, decorative art woodturnings, and woodcut prints.

Her abstract wood sculptures and decorative art woodturnings are in the permanent collection of many major museums, including the Renwick Gallery of the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.
