About the Artist:
My name is Ali Hewer. I grew up in Tupelo, Mississippi, making art on the back porch with my mom. We’d use whatever we had on hand—magazines, glue, glitter—and I loved how those simple projects turned into something meaningful. That joy of creating never left me. I’m a teacher by day and a full-time dreamer/artist on nights and weekends. My alter ego is Rattlesnake Betty—a name that blends grit and glamour. “Rattlesnake” speaks to resilience and edge, while “Betty” adds a touch of femininity, humor, and heart. Together, it captures the spirit of my work: bold, sparkly, and deeply rooted in storytelling. I’m a mixed-media artist who loves layering glitter, resin, collage, and found objects to create pieces that tell stories. Much of my work is inspired by Southern culture, family history, and pop culture icons like Dolly Parton and Elvis. I like to mix the sentimental with the playful—one piece might honor my grandmother as the family matriarch, while another celebrates self-care with a glitter-covered ice cream sundae.
What sets me apart is that I’m not afraid of sparkle or storytelling. My work doesn’t shy away from being bold, quirky, or emotional. Rattlesnake Betty is about celebrating beauty in unexpected places and creating art that feels alive with memory, humor, and heart.
