Lives and works in Porter, Texas

Lori Betz (American, b. 1961) Most of my work is thematic. I'm hoping to share an idea or emotion with the audience. I want
my work to be beautiful as well as inspirational. My sculptures speak to people about
mans everyday capacity for heroric deeds.

I studied studio art and design at the University of Texas, Austin. I was then awarded an artist's
residency at the Shigaraki Cultural Institute, in Shigaraki, Japan. After I completed my residency,
I sought out instructors to study with and this led me to apprentice with artist Alan Bain in
Procopia, Greece and then on to study sculpture with artist Alex Deya in Cortona, Italy, and
portraiture with renown portrait artist, Philippe Faraut in New York.
I have experience in all types of mold making and casting, having worked in a sculpture foundry
for two years and then opening up my own sculpture foundry for the past seven years, Betz Art
Foundry. I have successfully completed a range of private and commercial commissions.
I teach portraiture and figurative sculpture at the Glade Arts Foundation and the principals of
casting and sculpture at the Betz Art Foundry. I am currently on the board of the Texas Sculpture
Society.
