Betty Carmell Savenor received her BFA from Massachusetts College of Art, Boston (scholarship). She also studied at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts (scholarship). DeCordova Museum, Jackson Von Ladau School of Fashion, and Brandeis University. She is listed in: Who's Who in the East, Who's Who in America, Who's Who in American Art, World's Who's Who Women. She is a prolific painter.  Her work reflects her goal as an artist: to combine the beauty and drama of nature and its abundant manifestations with an emotional identification beyond the pure visual. Savenor paints from the heart without ignoring the head. She is able to create compositions that are relevant to both by floating images in a swirl of energy and color pleasing to the eye. These images hint at a connection that the viewer then completes, and in doing so begins a relationship with the painting. Savenor has learned to involve the viewer, and the conversation is complete.
