I work with Acrylics, Oils, Mixed Media, Metals on Canvas, and Wood Panel to create contemporary abstract works. I love producing textured surfaces; and I use finishes that range from Ultra Matte to Glossy, and now have moved to Resin coatings which are so current. I feel that my pieces are able to be used in a modern way as well as transitional decor and as an eclectic piece in a traditional setting. Photos are unable to depict the true nature of the work because the textures and finishes really make the art to me, so please come see in person.

I started out drawing with charcoal, and now work primarily in acrylics on canvas. More recently, I have been exploring upcycling, creating art using reclaimed wood and magazines. My art, like my personality, is in brilliant color. Life is too short for grays. So I say, throw open that paintbox and live a life more colorful! www.thecolorfullife.etsy.com 979.253.0245

My paintings are based from direct observation. I take my French easel out into the city I call home, Houston TX. The subject matter, although always changing, is often the confluence of what I love about Houston; it's buildings, bayous, highways, tree lined streets and lush parks and gardens. I hope you can see the beauty of Houston in my Urban Landscapes. 713-305-6626 http://deatlyart.com

My artwork is all created by hand using ordinary knitting needles and various pliers. I have developed my own technique of knitting with wire, which I call “knitting off the needle.” With my technique I use only one needle at a time for the purposes of pulling the stitch and controlling the stitch size.

I enjoy working in a wide variety of media and currently my main focus has been creating jewelry redesigns (altered art). I greatly enjoy redesigning jewelry as finding just the right components to collage together into one-of-a-kind pieces is exciting! Another focus is embossed metal art (repujado). Working in 36 gauge metal sheets, I emboss my linear designs which I then embolden with blocks of bright enamel paint. I developed this bold style of embossed metal from the idea to keep the designs clear and colorful which results in a stained glass quality in its simplicity. My favorite motifs include the sun, sunflower, and heart. It makes me happy when my work brings happiness to others!

In creating my pieces, I want viewers to feel them as much as they see them. I combine realistic images with the elemental use of color and texture. I strive to induce a feeling that renders words somewhat inadequate.

My art is primarily using gourds. I incorporate several passions into my work. I use beadwork, textiles, iron work, clay and collage; to name a few. Of course I love nature, what artist doesn't, I actually use tree parts. Although, some of my work is functional and some non-functional. It's all pleasing to the eye and unique. What I consider non-functional are enjoyable interactive pieces with doors and windows. I've began working with gourds in 1999, and have experienced many evolutions with them from food-safe to wall art masks. I've been told many times that I have taken gourds to a different level.

I work with a medley of mediums to make jewelry. I create a diverse range of body art to give the client a variety of opportunities to experience the beauty and satisfaction that can come from body ornamentation. My favorite medium to use is polymer clay. It allows me to make dramatic statement pieces that are wearable art. Many of these pieces incorporate beads that I have also handcrafted. These are my favorite pieces of jewelry to create. These pieces require a good deal of confidence to wear by the owner because they will wear you if you don't wear it like you "own it". These pieces have attitude! I also make pieces that are more conservative and whisper confidence.
