Captain Lulabelle’s Fine Art

Bette Lu Krause, aka Auntie Captain Lulabelle

Bette Lu’s work as an artist and as a shipboard naturalist embodies her passion for and knowledge of wild places.

On the canvas, the bold use of color and the palette knife evoke feelings of mystery, depth and freedom.

In the world, she strives to help travelers witness the mystery and magic of their home planet.

Ms. Krause and Kee-boy the ever-so-handsome cat make their home near the Pacific Ocean on Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula.
