Betsy Podlach recieved her BA in English literature and fiction writing at Harvard University, where she was a Watson Scholar. While studying painting at the New York Studio School and the International School of Art in Umbria, Italy, she received awards from the Charles H. Revson Foundation and the Seligman von Simson Foundation as well as several private grants and commissions. She received her MFA in Sculpture 2000 from New York Academy of Art, New York.

Her paintings are about relationships. They are created through a personal, abstract conception of form, space and light.
She says, "I work from direct observation - the beauty of objects in light, the anatomy or the landscape - along with my unconscious. In doing so, I try to combine three-dimensional form and depth with the flat picture plane into a uniquely painted space. I work with color to create a light coming from within the picture, stillness that reverberates. I use nature, these formal principles, and my imagination to form a personal image."

Podlach, who lives and works in New York City, is currently represented by galleries in New York, Key West, and Art Cabinet Nantucket on Nantucket Island. Her work is in private collections in New York City and Italy, including the collection of Princess Donatella Borghese in Rome, and the corporate collection of Pfizer, Inc., in New York.
