DESCRIPTION:Jun 12 - Nov 2\, 2026\n“She could be a Quaker girl who’s ju
 st come in from riding\,” Andrew Wyeth said of Maga’s Daughter\, his 1
 966 bust-view portrait of his wife\, Betsy James Wyeth. Posed with head tu
 rned\, her raven hair under a flat Quaker hat\, her neck strong and beauti
 ful\, she is American elegance personified\, the powerful woman behind the
  beloved artist. People could be daunted by Betsy\, but those who knew her
  say she was shy\, fun\, stylish\, a man’s woman\, and totally devoted t
 o Andrew. She was also a devoted maker of environments who restored and ad
 apted historic buildings\, oversaw the design of new structures\, and had 
 a collecting practice that transformed interior spaces. This exhibition at
  the Colby College Museum of Art\, explores the multilayered sites of Alle
 n and Benner Islands\, whose landscapes were shaped extensively by Betsy W
 yeth. Specially commissioned works by four women artists will take inspira
 tion from Betsy’s vision for the islands. The show also includes Betsy
 ’s archival and ephemeral materials—mapped plans\, timelines\, sticky 
 notes\, keepsakes\, and mementos.
