I began my study of art at the age of eight with art lessons in pastel.  I loved sketching and exploring color, even at a young age I could reproduce any image almost perfectly. When I was in high school a wonderful art teacher introduced me to sculpture and it felt like a natural progression to pursue the discipline. I have studied with as many different instructors from all over the world as possible so that I can learn  something unique from each of them. A few instructors I have studied with would include artist Alan Bain in Procopia , Greece and in Cortona, Italy with artist Alex Deya and  I was fortunate enough to have studied raku with the famous artist, Paul Soldner, in Anderson, Colorado.  I spent a year in Japan at the Shigaraki Cultural Institute as an artist in residence and one of my pieces is part of their permanent collection. I came back to the United States to pursue a masters degree in studio art but part way through I decided that institutionalized study could only take me so far and I decided to open my own gallery and to immerse myself in the process.  Betz Art Gallery is located in the heart of Houston and is my showroom and studio.  I am trying to create a place for artists to come together and share their knowledge and creativity .

Every year I participate in several group and solo exhibitions and my work has been included in many public and private collections.
