About Betty

​

Betty Stone is a Boston area photographer who is captivated by what is embedded within the obvious yet not unambiguously discernible. She delights in using color, light, and movement to weave stories, disclose processes, and reveal relationships. Her most recent work, Back of House, explores the behind-the-scenes central command center in restaurants.

​

Stone has taken critique courses with Emily Belz (2015-2016, 2018-2023), studied with Sue Anne Hodges, and was a member of the Photography Atelier 16 taught by Karen Davis and Meg Birnbaum, and the Atelier 38 taught by Emily Belz, both at the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester.

 

She has exhibited her photographs in small group exhibitions and juried group shows at Cambridge Art Association and CAA@Canal Gallery (Cambridge, MA), Griffin Museum of Photography (Winchester, MA), PhotoPlace Gallery Online (Burlington, VT), Arlington Center for the Arts (Arlington, MA), Lexington Arts & Crafts Society (Lexington, MA), Plymouth Center for the Arts (Plymouth, MA), and Arlington Robbins Town Hall (Arlington, MA). The Town of Arlington acquired ten of the sixteen images from Stone’s Iconic 1913 Arlington Town Hall series. They are on permanent display in the Office of the Arlington Town Manager. Following 2017 and 2018 service trips to Lusaka, Zambia, Stone exhibited and sold photographs to support the work of Communities Without Borders which assists AIDS orphans and other vulnerable children in Zambia.

​

Experiences living and working outside the United States, including co-owning a pub near Lisbon, Portugal, and a 32-year career in Boston as an educator of adult immigrants from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds have nourished her fascination with other languages and cultural perspectives. Stone’s photographs honor her subjects and the places they call home.

​

Stone lives and works in Arlington, MA.
