Feature Teacher
By Marilyn Hein
Students of Betty Piley describe her as “encouraging, friendly and al-
ways having something good to say about their work, and offering uplift-
ing critiques.” Betty has been teaching watercolor classes at the Hemet
Art Association for some years now. She is an avid baker who loves to
bake and bring treats to class for her student’s enjoyment! Lucky stu-
dents!
Born in Jefferson Texas, Betty moved with her family to National City
in San Diego when she was 7 years old. She fondly remembers her
mother encouraging her creativity with a paper bag and homemade art
supplies. Betty was always sketching and came to the attention of the
Lakeside Baptist Church for her artistic ability. She was asked to help with church bulletins, mu-
rals, backdrops for plays and anything else artistic they needed. She also was in charge of Sunday
school and children’s programs. As a self-taught artist, Betty did not formally take art lessons until
she moved to Hemet and took classes from Jerry Regur. Betty made such an impression on Regur
that she took Betty’s artwork to show at the Brandon Gallery in Fallbrook.
Betty who was a stay at home mother raising her two children has taken adult education classes
over the years in floral arrangement, cake decorating and tailoring. She has come to love watercol-
or because of “the freshness of it.” After moving to Hemet, Betty decided to take some time for her-
self and dedicate her time to her artwork.
Betty and her husband lived on 5 acres in Homeland, which backed up to 400 acres of open land.
After being widowed she moved into a smaller home with a very small yard. She misses the bobcats
and coyotes that would frequent her property, but is enjoying having less yard to take care of. Betty
feels she learns as much from her students as she teaches them and is just a step ahead of them in
learning. She has taken classes from Robert Willis at Dorland Arts Colony and is inspired by Wins-
low Homer for his shapes and values, John Senior Sargent for his use of light and Edgar Whitney for
his composition.
Betty shares her faith with her students and credits her artistic ability as a God given gift. Her stu-
dents and members of the art association appreciate her encouragement and uplifting spirit. Betty
demonstrates at Evening of Art and is always willing to lend a helping hand. Bettys work is excep-
tional and her students benefit from her personality and talent. Thank you Betty for all you do for
the Art Association!
