About
Betsy Kopmar is a painter, photographer, and director of experimental animations. Her work is rooted in the language of visual music, where light and color and movement open to a deeper communion with the natural world.
Her award-winning abstract animations have shown in film festivals around the world where they were recognized for their unique combination of expressive graphics and arresting sound.
Reverberations of Asian art flow naturally through these colorful images, balancing opposing energies of real and imaginary, new and time-worn. Her work is less a study of perception than it is an experience of feeling and spirit.
Honored by Adobe as a Master Teacher for her contributions to digital education, she has taught motion graphics and 3D design and animation at Bay Area colleges. An early adopter of vj tools for live performance graphics, she continues to explore the synergistic and improvisational work-flow these tools provide to video and animation artists.
