Betsy Enzensberger

Sculpting works that create a visceral longing and remembrance of the most nostalgic delights from childhood, the artist uses the familiarity of those sweet treats to help us remember the simplicity, value and culture of desserts so often associated with positivity and joy. Betsy is known for her realistic, larger-than-life sculptures of dripping, frozen treats.

Her Tragically Sweet series plays with the desires of everyone’s inner child. The colourful confections practically beg to be rescued and consumed. Her series is an everevolving collection that grows larger and becomes more refined every year. Each piece is unique and is carefully handcrafted in her Los Angeles studio. She says, “I become very fond of each and every sculpture, as I spend weeks or even months creating them.”

About her material of choice, she says, “Resin - I love it. It’s beautiful, sexy, mysterious. It’s also toxic, messy and truly exhausting to sculpt with. However, I enjoy the challenges that resin presents. There’s just something about it I can’t resist. If the process was easy, I wouldn’t be doing it.”

Her work can be found in collections worldwide and she regularly shows at fairs and galleries throughout the year.
