“Joy” Bronze Sculpture 30 inches tall

LORI BETZ

Every sculpture in my collection is a distinctive storyteller, bearing witness to the myriad facets of life and the human experience. Through the tactile and enduring medium of bronze, I seek to convey a sense of timelessness, bridging ancient techniques with contemporary expression. The uplifting quality of my art emerges from the intentional fusion of form and emotion. I aim to evoke a positive and transformative response in the viewer, inviting them to partake in the visual poetry embedded within each piece. It is my belief that art has the power to transcend the mundane, offering solace, inspiration, and a moment of respite in our complex world. As I cast, forge, and weld bronze, I am not merely shaping metal; I am weaving stories, capturing emotions, and celebrating the resilience of the human spirit.

I earned my degree in Studio Art and Design from the University of Texas at Austin, which set the foundation for my journey as a sculptor. My passion for art took me across the world, beginning with an artist residency at the prestigious Shigaraki Cultural Institute in Japan. Eager to deepen my skills, I sought out master artists, apprenticing with Alan Bain in Procopia, Greece, studying sculpture under Alex Deya in Cortona, Italy, and refining my portraiture techniques with renowned artist Philippe Faraut in New York.

With extensive experience in mold making and casting, I spent two years working in a sculpture foundry before launching my own—Betz Art Foundry—one of the few woman-owned bronze foundries in the U.S. Over the past twelve years, I have completed a wide range of private and commercial commissions, bringing unique artistic visions to life.

Beyond creating, I am passionate about teaching. I instruct portraiture and figurative sculpture at the Glade Arts Foundation and share the art of casting and sculpture at Betz Art Foundry. As a board member of the Texas Sculpture Society, I am dedicated to helping fellow artists expand their opportunities and thrive in their creative careers.
