My work is about the spiritual connection found in natural beauty and the temporal quality of our existence as part of nature. It is done in mixed media, acrylic, collage, water media, and at times encaustic. Working in mixed media lends itself to creating a visceral world made with multiple layers, an approach that imbues the work with meaning through the telling of a story and the passing of time in the process. www.carolinez.com
Olga Tarasova is a skilled feltmaker, fiber artist, and textile designer who creates hand-felted accessories and wearable art. Her unique pieces—scarves, wraps, arm warmers, hats, and garments—are meticulously handcrafted using the finest materials, including Merino wool, silk, bamboo, yak, camel, and other luxury fibers. With water, soap, and fibers, she transforms raw materials into stunning felt creations. Olga also designs jewelry from wool and silk fibers, such as twisted felted bracelets, chain earrings, and necklaces. Known for her one-of-a-kind pieces, she dyes her own fibers and fabrics and often works with raw, unprocessed wool sourced from small farmers.
Originally from Daugavpils, Latvia, Olga is now based in Houston, TX, where she works out of Winter St Studios, B255. Visit her during open studios on the second Saturday of each month from 12-5pm.
My passion is art and my goal is to pursue my dream to become a full-time artist and share my love for art through every piece of art, I create.
My name is Alexandra Quevedo. My friends call me Alex. Born in Monterrey, NL, Mexico, Art has been in my family for many generations. My great uncle, Raul Acevedo was a famous artist in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. Art runs through my veins, As a child, I loved drawing and painting portraits for my family and friends. My art is very colorful and painterly. I have also painted murals in several places in Houston and in Mexico (Residential and Commercial). I have been commissioned to paint portraits for a few famous people, one being the international singer Juan Gabriel.
I have won an award in Primer Encuentro de Artist International. After graduating from University of Houston in 2008 with a degree in Fine Arts(Studio Painting), I decided I wanted to share my love for the arts with each student. The best way was to become a teacher, this is when I earned my bilingual and art education certificate.
