Celebrating twenty years as an award winning American artist, Betsy Reum welcomes you to her site.
Betsy is internationally recognized for her quality constructed bears and attention to creative detail.
Her work has appeared in numerous books and magazines in the United States and abroad.

She also was the 1997 winner of the Golden Teddy Award and a nominee in 1999 and 2001. Betsy's work was featured on the cover of Teddy Bear and Friends! Learn more about Betsy and how her past has shaped her bear making career.

Check out the gallery where you'll find unique bears with personality plus! Each piece is designed by Betsy and lovingly created for you by hand. She works entirely alone to have control in maintaining very high construction standards. All quantities are limited as a result whether they are a limited edition of a specified number or an open edition.

Visit Betsy in person at upcoming teddy bear shows in your area.
Or you can e-mail your questions or requests to betsyreum@comcast.net.

These artist bears are intended for collectors and not as a children's toy (under age 8).
