Art League instructor Ted Betts was born in rural Maryland, and it is this landscape to which he paid homage in his many atmospheric paintings. Ted's artwork persuades us to engage with subjects that may not be considered for artistic expression— the rusty drainpipe, the fallow field, and the collapsed foundation of an abandoned barn. The symbolic relationships between decay and rebirth, forgotten and recovered, unkempt and aligned, have fond interpretation in his paintings. Ted's low-key approach and engaging manner built him a loyal following at The Art League— both inside and outside the classroom environment. His commitment to his students was well known and the steady stream of beautiful artwork flowing from his former students is a tribute to his gifts as a teacher.

The Art League at National Harbor is located at 120 American Way, Oxon Hill, MD 20745 and is currently open Wednesday-Friday, 12:00noon-7:00pm, and Saturday-Sunday, 12:00noon-6:00pm.
