BETTYE COOK
Bettye worked as a medical illustrator after graduating from Rice in 1948 with a BA in English. She was one of the first art directors for KCBD, the Lubbock NBC affiliate. In the mid-1950's, that meant Bettye did everything manually, from setting type to simple animation. She truly learned as she went.
Bettye freelanced in commercial art after moving back to Houston as she and her husband Dave raised their family. In Midland and later, Lubbock, Bettye taught secondary English and science.
The Ransom Canyon, TX watercolorist now resides in Midland. She is the mother of three, grandma of six, and greatgrandmother of six.
