Betsy Olmstead

Betsy Olmsted is the woman behind her namesake brand know for its nature inspired prints and imaginative color.  With a childhood dream of becoming a naturalist, Betsy has always adored animals and possessed an intrinsic fascination with the natural world, collecting specimens which have become subjects in her art. Through her travels and study, Betsy learned to value objects of meaning: art, culture, antiques, and, most notably, textiles. Upon majoring in studio art at Skidmore College she spent four inspiring months studying in India before receiving a Master's Degree in Textile Design from Philadelphia University.  Betsy's passion for creatures and flora, hues and patterns, artistic expression and material culture formed the foundation for her company.  She designs fabric for Windham Fabric.
