Bettina Bauer was born in Vienna, Austria, on 10 March 1903. She studied for three years at the Kunstgewerbeschule, or school of arts and crafts, of Vienna (now the University of Applied Arts). She lived in Berlin for two years and in Paris for one, and showed work in each city. On 27 November 1930 she married the sculptor Georg Ehrlich; like her, he was Jewish. After the Nazi Anschluss in March 1938 it was too dangerous for them to be in Austria. Ehrlich was in England at the time, and stayed there; Bettina joined him in July 1938, bringing many of his works.

Ehrlich worked in many media, including watercolour, oils and various printing techniques (etching, lino-cutting, lithography and woodcut). At the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne in Paris in 1937, she won a silver medal for her hand-painted silks. Ehrlich began illustrating and writing books for children during the Second World War. Show Me Yours: A Little Paintbook and Poo-Tsee, the Water-Tortoise were both published by Chatto & Windus in 1943, under the pen name "Bettina". In all, she illustrated more than twenty, most of which she wrote herself. She was an expert in the techniques of bronze casting and patination of bronze. After her husband died, in 1966, she produced casts from his plasticine and plaster models; they were of the same high quality as those he had made himself. She died of lung cancer in a London hospital on 10 October 1985. She provided in her will for the remaining originals and casts from her husband's workshop to be returned to Vienna.
