Creative Glass and Heirloom Portraits


I create original artwork designs in stained glass. I find anything glass and create an art piece with it. My favorites are dragonflies and elaborate mandala-style color-bursts, but I also make a wide range of theme-style creations, such as hummingbirds, butterflies, bugs, fish, angels, crosses, hearts, chakras, & many others. In addition to glass art I have recently re-kindled an old love for the art of painting. I am happy to now be offering acrylic paintings of pets & people from your photos. These can be done in color or classic black & white.

My creations are handmade and one-of-a-kind, with unique vintage elements carefully handpicked from antique markets in France. In designing my creations I combine vintage elements with modern material creating eclectic, elegant and playful pieces, recalling days gone by. http://www.perleamies.com

Fermin Coronado


Currently I have been transitioning from 2D drawing to 3D sculptural fiber art. In my drawings I use color pencil to create landscapes with texture and depth. In my 3D work I use crochet, knitting and wet felting and other fibers like jute,silk,lace, burlap to create texture and highly charged color. (214) 708-0293

Crystal Murley Art


I love creating works of art that both the viewer and I can appreciate on any given level. I use color fields and obsessive mark making with imagery to pull the viewer in and then leave the viewer with a sense of emotion either positive or negative, as long as something is touched internally. I also enjoy the reality of creating wearable art: a one of a kind belt buckle is a really cool accent to an outfit! 713-628-0780 http://CrystalMurleyArt.com

Arthur Deatly


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

Darlene Besier


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!

Hand Knit Wire Creations

Hand Knit Wire Creations Hand Knit Wire Creations Hand Knit Wire Creations Hand Knit Wire Creations

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.

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.

FEATURED: Eugene John Hughes


Currently I am generating abstract, expressionist paintings using primarily acrylics as my tool of experimentation. Toss a Pop Art influence into the mix to round out what impacts my style. Mixed media is an increasing influence with many works incorporating plaster, copper wire, organic elements - sand, salt, rock, glass as well as print media. A few even include a favourite old shirt to worn to wear again. My art is diverse in subject and is extremely colorful and textural. It should provoke more than one sense in you.

Brent Kramlich


My work consists of minimalistic sculpture with a mathematical foundation. Specific parts of a form can be given more emphasis with the addition of vibrant colors of spray paint. I continually cross over from abstract to realistic as I seek out new shapes inspired by unusual lifeforms. 281.455.8261
