Georgetown resident Betsy Havens grew up in Savannah and began her study and love of art at the Telfair Museum of Art at age 12. Congregate speaks to the common thread in Havens’ work—the human figure. The artist’s love for the human figure has led her to paint street scenes, markets, cafes, fishermen, dancers, mythical and historic figures and portraiture while being able to capture the individuality of the human spirit among large assemblies of people.

This exhibition will feature 11 works of art from the Museum’s permanent collection. Varying in sizes and media, the pieces will border the line between abstraction and representational or figurative art. Ranging from collage and painting to ceramics and even paintings on bone, Bordering on Abstraction will demonstrate a fine line—that between what the eye can make out as something identifiable and that which it cannot.
