After studying at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague between 1959 and 1965, Betty Scheer began making tapestries, primarily depicting animals and plants. Afterward, she primarily created pastels of landscapes and still lifes.
Around 1992, she began making linocuts, initially with a small number of printing runs. Over time, she developed this technique to the point where she also began working with halftones (see intaglio) and transparencies, resulting in later works often requiring fifteen or more printing runs. Because Betty printed everything by hand, this was very labor-intensive, and therefore the print run often didn't exceed five copies.
Artists who have had a significant influence on her include Rein Draijer, her teacher at the academy, and the painters Dick Ket and Morandi with their tranquil compositions. As for the more exuberant and colorful side, painters like Matisse and Rik Wouters were a major influence on her work.
