"Amazing Grace" embodies the transformative power of faith and grace. Inspired by the timeless hymn, this bronze sculpture explores the journey from darkness to light, representing the soul’s awakening through a connection to a higher power. The figure, fluid yet grounded, seems to rise from the depths of turmoil into a state of serene elevation. The graceful posture suggests both surrender and liberation, as if embraced by an unseen force. The textured surface of the bronze captures the rawness of struggle, while the smooth, flowing lines evoke the purity and peace that comes with divine grace. A tribute to the unshakable faith that leads us from despair to redemption, Amazing Grace invites viewers to reflect on their own spiritual journey, finding solace and strength in the quiet, unwavering presence of faith.

“Dominico” by artist Lori Betz 30 inches tall Bronze sculpture of Dominico Luciano, lead dancer in the Dominic Walsh Dance Theater. Dominico is a beautiful and powerful dancer and during my studio session with him we were fortunate enough to have the input for the choreography of this piece from Dominic Walsh, choreographer and owner of the Dominic Walsh Dance Theater. Dominic Walsh brought so much inspiration and creative energy with him to that session, I do not think that I would have gotten the perfect pose to represent the idea of dance being the language of the soul otherwise. One of the proud owners of this sculpture sent me this note: “Hi Lori, … you probably know by now that you have in me a big fan, of your art and of your life choices. Just saying THANK YOU, for letting me take Dominico home. I put him in his place – and he looks gorgeous from every angle. What a beautiful piece of art. And, the day-light hits him just right and he seems to smile and … throws a big shadow (of things to come) … on the wall behind him. He looks splendid – floating and at ease. I might have to sign up for the ballet in Houston before he disappears somewhere “faster and bigger”. … Again: THANKS for this beautiful piece of art directly from the artist. And, he has a “story” … – something I need for enjoying art, or beautiful collector pieces – a “story”: … Thanks, Lori. Artists like you are Houston’s oxygen, make Houston worth while living in.     All of our sculptures are custom made by hand here at the Betz Art Foundry.  They are priced with out a fountain feature but a custom fountain feature can be added.

“Eternal Flight” BY ARTIST LORI BETZ

Eternal Flight
Medium: Bronze
Commissioned by: Houston Ballet Eternal Flight captures a moment of profound intimacy and grace, portraying two ballet soloists in a mirrored swan pose. Sculpted in bronze, the dancers’ forms are frozen in motion—elegant, poised, and entwined in a delicate balance of strength and vulnerability. The sculpture explores the theme of love—not just as romance, but as connection, trust, and the unspoken dialogue between two souls in harmony. The swan pose, known for its fluidity and emotional depth, becomes a symbol of that shared flight: two individuals soaring together, yet never losing themselves in the other. With the timeless strength of bronze and the ephemeral beauty of dance, Eternal Flight pays tribute to the Houston Ballet’s legacy of artistry and passion, and to love in all its quiet, powerful forms.   Sculpture of Peter Franc and Nao Kusuzaki of the Houston Ballet.The Choreography was created with the help of Stanton Walsh, Artistic Director of the Houston Ballet. Mr Walsh was kind enough to direct the dancers in various poses and dance moves in the search to find the right balance between classical ballet and the emotional aspects of telling a story through movement. This is something that Stanton Walsh does very well and I believe that I captured it in this pose, and with these two amazing dancers. All of our sculptures are custom made by hand here at the Betz Art Foundry.  They are priced with out a fountain feature but a custom fountain feature can be added.

Hope In The Garden is a bronze sculpture inspired by the Greek myth of Pandora, a tale of humanity’s trials and the enduring power of hope. In ancient mythology, the world was once free of toil and sorrow, an earthly paradise of endless beauty where rivers flowed with milk and honey, and flowers carpeted the land. This peaceful world was inhabited solely by men, created by Prometheus, who shaped them from clay in the image of the gods. But Zeus, the king of the gods, grew wrathful when Prometheus defied him, most notably by stealing fire from heaven to give humankind. To exact his revenge, Zeus devised a cunning plan. He commanded Hephaestus, the god of the forge, to fashion Pandora, the first woman, endowed by the gods with beauty, charm, cleverness, and an irrepressible curiosity. Her name, “Pandora,” means “all gifted” or “a gift to all.” Before sending Pandora to earth, Zeus gave her a beautiful box and a warning: “This is my gift to you, but you must never open it.” Yet, as Zeus had intended, Pandora’s curiosity overwhelmed her. When she opened the box, she unwittingly unleashed countless woes upon the world—sorrow, disease, greed, violence, madness, and death. Paradise was lost. But within the box lay an unexpected gift from Prometheus: Hope. Though troubles were released into the world, Hope remained, a light for humanity to endure and rise above adversity. I believe that hope is one of the greatest virtues, a force that sustains us through life’s challenges. In my sculpture, Pandora cradles an ornate box in her left hand, symbolizing the weight of her choice. From the open box in her right hand, she releases a bird, a symbol of hope, spreading its wings and soaring into the world. This limited-edition bronze represents the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring presence of hope, even in the face of hardship. Hand crafted, Limited edition bronze.
