Artist Betty Kovacic to release her first book

Betty Kovacic has been writing poetry and prose since the 1980s.

Betty Kovacic, an award-winning Canadian visual artist who resides in Prince George, has been writing poetry and prose since the 1980s. In Reflections With An Indifferent Universe Kovacic makes her debut as an author. Through fictitious journal entries, poetry and paintings informed by operas, she explores end-of-life experiences and concepts of metaphysical and eternal love. The creative spirit which permeates Betty’s work speaks of her ongoing fascination with all aspects of the human condition.

This full colour, hard cover book may be purchased by contacting the artist through her website www.bettykovacicart.com or by phone at 250-964-8291. Two dollars from each sale will be donated to the Prince George Hospice Society.

Kovacic’s artistic vision has been featured in publications and academic presentations in Canada, France and South Africa. As in the past, her many projects continue to attract attention in her home province of British Columbia and on a national and international level. A participant in numerous solo and group exhibitions, Kovacic has been honoured with several prestigious awards and grants.

Betty Kovacic’s art has added a unique dimension to numerous private, public and corporate collections in Canada, the United States and Europe.

In April of 2012, Kovacic unveiled her largest piece of work at the College of new Caledonia. Titled Shadows of the Past, the 6 feet by 16 feet painting commemorates and recognizes the experiences of ethno-cultural communities affected by Canada’s first national internment operations from 1914 to 1920.

In December, 2009, Betty was awarded $19,500 from the Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund.
