About The Artist







Lori Bettyas Baratta is a full-time artist/illustrator with over 275 published designs
including both decorative & fine art. Her work has been exhibited at international shows,
reviewed in national trade magazines, & has graced the covers of both books
& catalogs. Her designs can also be found on a diverse array of products
offered through both her own company & other companies as well;
all the way from stationery & rubber stamps to magnets & T-shirts.
She has also written several published how-to-paint articles for art & craft magazines.

Basically self-taught, she originally started painting in acrylics on wood, &
later took a few night courses in watercolour & oils,
while also studying the use of pen & ink, pencils, pastels & gouache,
finding a whole new world working in mixed media.

It seemed only natural to combine both her love & deep respect of animals
& her passion for art. Her enjoyment of rendering portraits of both people
& animals, comes from ” both the excitement of color and capturing
the unique look and spirit of each individual subject”.

As an avid animal lover & owner, Lori is very happy to be able to
contribute a portion of her portraits proceeds to help benefit both
injured & homeless animals. To find out more about this program,
