I work with home decor in mind – I strive to create pieces that will beautifully compliment most spaces and that will make you happy every time you walk into a room. I love the freedom of abstract shapes that allow me to go wherever the painting takes me. My art is mostly acrylic on canvas, with a piece of skull art or recycled wood here and there.

I love objects with multiple personalities- recognizable things that change when incorporated in a piece of artwork. I see that in my work- where antiques and recycled or found objects suggest one thing while the image may suggest another. I love how the layering of encaustic wax reflects the light differently depending on your viewpoint- like water and glass do.
Amy began painting over 10 years ago as a hobby. Creating abstract pieces quickly became less of a hobby and more of a passion. She started with acrylic but then transitioned into encaustic and resin. Encaustic is a wax based paint that is melted and painted onto a wooden substrate. Resin is a two part compound that hardens to a clear glossy finish. Paints are added to the resin while it is still in a liquid form then the piece is created before it cures.

“HERE’S THE FUTURE OF THE SINGER-SONGWRITER GENRE.” – TEX RENNER
Nationally touring singer-songwriter, guitarist, producer, and author Tommy Lewis is considered a Nova Beat, the group of creatives in the same vein as those at the heart of the mid-century cultural revolution. Alongside his sensei Radney Foster, Chad Elliott, Dana Cooper, Rod Picott, and Matt Harlan in the same spirit as Tom Russell, Jason Isbell, and Sturgill Simpson, Tommy is helping to redefine American roots music. www.tommylewis.net
His was hard rock and heavy metal. Hers was the classic sound of the East Texas piney woods. Theirs was a fiery collision, bearing forth a sound that was at once novel and instantly familiar–nodding to roots seated deep in high lonesome harmonies and back porch blues, while peering out at a scorched path bound by modern assertions and contemporary commentary.
This two-person, dozen-instrument act provides a show full of sound a fury, punctuated with raw, quiet vulnerability. Come welcome them as they bring you back home. www.griftersandshills.com

I create abstract expressionistic paintings. They are vibrant, energetic and colorful. I create unconsciously, rarely creating with a preset concept or vision for each work of art. Instead, I create from inspiration, emotion, and the subconscious within specific moments in time. At the end, the painting, in many ways are “revealed” to me.
I began painting this way during my first year in law school by accident. Learning the law became my life, day and night, seven days a week. And when I was not achieving the results I desired, I became extremely frustrated. One day, I took all that frustration, seemingly negative energy, and released it onto blank canvases. My evolution as an artist, was conceived in that moment. Finally, I found a “space,” where I could create where there were no rules, no limitations, no judgment, and no fear. My art, is that save place, where I can do anything. There are only infinite possibilities.
I typically use Acrylic paint on canvas as my foundation. However, most of my painting experiment with several different mixed media, such as, candle wax, newspaper, magazine paper, bubble wrap, card stock, mailing labels, painters tape, charcoal, ink, and sharpie markers.

Abiola likes to focus her work on the diverse aspects of Black culture and tries to capture the beauty of her people and her culture in the works of art she creates. Her artwork is exciting, bold and expressive. Not only is she fascinated by the human form, but emotions, body language and especially eye expressions. Her style, sense of color is eye catching and being noticed by many.
Penpun shares with you her impressionistic still life paintings in oil. At first glance they appear common but exotic textiles and unusual vase shapes soon garner attention from fruit, wild flowers, and flora. Occasionally subject matter becomes animated in composition of domestic cats in repose or household items exploring with caricatures of people in their everyday routine. These works are punctuated by abstract pieces in acrylic singularly profound and aesthetically pleasing. instagram.com/daysofbeinginhouston

I want my art to be something you feel, you experience, you desire. When I paint I get lost in the moment. I cannot explain it. To create something new and original is a beautiful feeling. I hope you are touched by my art. That is my greatest hope.
I love to paint birds, flowers and landscapes in vibrant colors. I lived in Alaska and was inspired by the magnificent mountains and scenery. It is where I learned how to use Alcohol Inks. Alcohol inks or acrylics are my favorite mediums to use. apatton.faso.com
