  • Notes: 'People are my muse.' so says Betzi Stein, Los Angeles-based contemporary portrait artist. 'My paintings celebrate ordinary and extraordinary people of all shapes, sizes and colors who capture my imagination.' Discovering at an early age that she could make people laugh with sharp-tongued, witty retorts, Stein infuses much of her work with a sense of humor and a bit of sarcasm. 'This is the spark that begins my creative process and is what motivates me to choose the subjects of my paintings.'

    Stein has always worked figuratively starting in college as a sculptor and then in her 30-year career as a massage therapist, sculpting living bodies rather than clay. In recent years, she has turned her creative energy to painting, both in commissioned portraits as well as in her current series of narrative paintings of people who populate the art world.

    Betzi Stein is an active member of TAG Gallery, International Society of Acrylic Painters, Los Angeles Art Association, and Women Painters West. Her art has received numerous awards and has been shown and collected throughout the United States.
