Jeff Betz Masks

The Mythical, The Beastly, The Non-human, The Tribal, The Primitive, The Phantasy

 
I am a mask maker living in Portland, Oregon. While drawing inspiration from various ancient and primitive masks producing cultures I work intuitively from imagination to create masks which are unique as works of sculpture while also being made to wear. The materials I use are predominately paper laminate and papier mâché while incorporating other materials such as fur, leather, wood, raffia, hardware, jewelry, stone, fabric and other miscellaneous items that can be found at local thrift stores. The masks and costumes presented here are the sum of the past several years work. I would be happy to provide additional photo’s and information regarding size dimensions, materials and price. If you are interested in purchasing a mask I am selling through etsy.com. Please contact me on the particular mask you are interested in and I will list it on etsy.com for you. See link below. Thank you for visiting my site. Whether you are a collector of masks or an enthusiast I would be pleased to hear from you.
