Betty Ann Cormier is originally from Cheticamp, Nova Scotia, world capital of the hooked rug. When Betty Ann was but six weeks old, her mother Isabelle began learning the art of rug hooking as her own mother and grandmother had in the past.
Betty Ann began rug hooking at six years old and therefore is the fourth generation who took up the craft of rug hooking. Betty Ann chooses bright colors and hooks folkloric and whimsical art which she designs herself.
As an adolescent, Betty Ann was already selling her rug and loom creations in local craft shops. After taking a long break, Betty Ann has gotten back to her love of creating, as she had as a teenager. What is different this time around, is that Betty Ann no longer sketches on the burlap. Her hook has now become her pencil. Moreover, she is now learning the art of dyeing from her mother.
