For Ross, painting is an exploration which, informed by ideas and facts - from a Gypsy celebration in the south of France to Balinese temples or the wild Yuba River in California - leads to new creation.

"Her work is particular, individual, highly refined and, in some ways, very traditional" - Joyous, splashy abstracts, full of light and motion..." - John Hazlehurst, The Independent

"Betty Ross takes the landscape, from the fabric of the world and her memories, to fashion 'character' (artwork) that captures both the representational world and the abstraction that is her own unique vision. In looking closely at these paintings that conjoin art and life with memory, we learn to inhabit the gap often left empty in everyday life." - Professor Joanna Roche, California State University, Fullerton
