Betsy trained as an artist at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where she received a BA in Fine Art and concentrated on painting, sculpture and color theory. Upon completing her degree, she moved to New York and worked at Tiffany & Co. After a few years, she decided to return to her roots and pursue her passion for interior design. She began this pursuit by studying at the New York School of Interior Design where she completed her second degree in design. Betsy went on to work for Robert Schwagerl, Assoc, a prominent New York architect. Subsequently she was hired by Mark Epstein, an established New York interior designer. In January of 1998, Betsy opened the doors of her new interior design business, Brock Interiors, Ltd. Her passion for art, design, and good taste —combined with her experience and education—provided a strong foundation and the necessary ingredients to begin this successful endeavor.
