Trailblazing Tex - Betirri (Artist) - a podcast by Brittany Metcalf

Betirri is a professional artist, and I am honored to call him a friend! You can find his art all around Houston. His art has been shown around the country, and he has exhibited his pieces around the world. He just wrapped up his Casa de Dali Mural (his 7th Houston mural) and it’s incredible!

I met Betirri back in 2013 when he commissioned a piece for the BBBS gala. The colors he used and the “bodiless” people featured in a lot of his work really captured my attention. I thought the piece he painted was incredibly powerful, and caught my eye. I am a little bias because I have quite a few pieces hanging in my house now, but he truly is talented in his craft. He’s also just a genuine and beautiful soul.

Betirri moved to the U.S. when he was 15 years old. I also love his story because he is a great example of the American Dream—following his passion, working hard, and succeeding! Tune in to hear about his journey as an artist and some of the cool projects that he has done.
