March 3, 2025 6:30pm - Betty Stephens
Betty Cox Bio Biography: to start….., I’ve always been in the arts , mostly in music but as a young child I was obsessed with drawing elephants in kindergarten and not interested in playing with the other kids! My interests later developed into writing stories until Jr HS and told how I was to draw and not what I wanted to draw. Clarinet became my focus and then learning the cello became my passion to the point above everything else. I was lucky to have been exposed to a fabulous music director that encouraged string players to thrive which I did; always had to be the best, got my Bachelor’s of music performance degree , auditioned for The Toledo SO , eventually became principal cellist and then a permanent substitute cellist for a year with the Detroit SO , toured, did some recordings, played with a chamber orchestra in Jordan, an opera orchestra, did quite a bit of free lancing, shows, chamber playing and later married a cellist and I went to nursing school! I wanted a “real” job and security because music was very cut throat and ended up moving to San Diego . Was an RN and Quit music cold turkey . Unhappy . Moved to Chicago for 3 years got my Masters of Science in Nursing/ speciality in Maternal/child/ Midwifery and licensed nationally to practice as a Certified Nurse Midwife. I had been a labor and delivery Nurse prior to that. Returned to CA. Practiced as a CNM another 23 years as a CNM and retired 4//2020 from Kaiser San DIEGO. I started to develop beading with a gf of mine also a nurse and she made jewelry, Lampwork and we went to bead shows locally and then Tucson! I was hooked. Beading became a creative outlet for me which took the place of my music career that I gave up in my 20s. My youngest son was 16 yo by then. Perfect timing for me. I gradually learned about polymer clay and resin and did both of those and stringing and then chose bead embroidery! I found it to be the most unrestrictive in creativity. My friend told me it’s normal to take 40-60 hours to complete something . I was flabbergasted! She was right! A lot of what I made was crap. She’d look at it and I could tell by her face that it was! But I stuck with it …., I’ve been doing BOTB 9 years this year 2023 , taught in USA, Italy and exhibited in catalogues nationwide and internationally. I’m planning on teaching Zoom this year 2024. I’m teaching and exhibiting at To bead true blue or Colors of the stone 2024 winter show and in LA and excited about being one of the designers for Toho winter 2024 and 2/12/2024 I’ve been asked to do a presentation or power point about “Color in the Drab of the Winter”! The rest is history……
