Betty Salter
As a teenager in the '50s, Betty worked in the Hawkes' Bay Art Gallery and Museum,
then window-dressing and signwriting before marriage and family duties. During this time, involvement in various
handcrafts, including some years with pottery kept her artistic instincts ticking over
A tertiary Graphic Design Course in 1984-5 (Honours pass) began the path that led to her present life as an artist
After moving to Nelson in 1989, a year of face-painting in 1990 led to discovering the ability to do Portraiture, which in turn opened
the way to Fantasy Painting, Animal Portraiture and Landscapes. Painting is now a passion, with facepainting at various events still
providing a great deal of pleasure.

Crystal - Connemara X Mare
Crystal is one of the wonderful herd of horses and ponies at Richmond Riding for the Disabled (near Nelson)
RDA horses need a patient, tolerant and friendly temperament with their riders. They share a unique and
major contribution towards the development of physical, mental and social skills of their riders.
Currently nearly eighty riders a week come to the Richmond centre, ages range from three year olds to adulthood, but most are school age children.
Costs are high to maintain this special herd of horses and ponies for a year, therefore the Richmond RDA is seeking annual sponsorship for each horse
or pony to contribute towards these costs.
Enquiries about the fund raising may be directed to
