My medium is a varied mix of tiny shells, scraps of paper, slivers of glass, thick gel mediums, crusted gouache additives, creamy acrylic and globs of oil paints, traces of watercolor and melted wax crayons combined with hardened enamels and carefully chosen 14kt gold flake.
Every piece is original and every creation is an unpredictable surprise! I create with a clear heart, no expectations. The materials combined together create a resist-like reaction and the results are different every time…..each piece is genuinely unique and original!
I’m passionate about living the artful life. I have a great appreciation for nature and animals,20% of all sales goes to S.N.A.P. (Spay and Neuter Assistance Program) for animals. I am also an active advocate for the “Adopt Don’t Shop!” movement which means finding forever homes for our homeless furry friends.

Coming from an artistic family I’ve always had a knack for drawing and have occasionally dabbled with other artistic pursuits throughout my life. My formal education and career path, however, focused on biology and environmental education, with a gradual shift from managing educational programming to producing publications. While those skill sets remain in my toolbox, I’ve recently begun taking classes at MFAH’s Glassell Studio School and am now focused on my education and development as a fine artist. Many of my early works were bound up in representing what IS…highly realistic representations of physical objects, animals, plants, and people. Recently I’ve worked to expand my horizons, loosening up in both style and ideation. Currently, my works are often nature-inspired, sometimes figurative and realistic, other times abstract or conceptual. I’m an emerging artist, learning, experimenting, and exploring the realm of what is possible and unbound by adherence to any particular media, technique, or subject matter. Maybe one day I’ll settle in to a marketable artistic “brand” but for now, I thrive on variety.
I make hand-felted accessories and wearable art, like scarves, wraps, arm warmers, hats and garments. Every item is hand-made by me. I choose the finest materials like Merino wool, silk, bamboo, yak, camel and other luxury fibers. I use water, soap and fibers to create my hand-made felt. I also make jewelry out of wool and silk fibers, like twisted felted bracelets, chain earrings and necklaces. I like to dye my own fibers and fabrics for one of kind pieces. I also work with raw, unprocessed wool that I source from small farmers. www.takufelt.etsy.comwww.instagram.com/olitaku
I am an abstract artist using fluid brush strokes, sprays or pours to create one of a kind works of art on canvas. I don’t paint for critics or the masses but for myself. I create because I feel—it’s as simple as that. I share because it connects with my audience. Everyone is going through something. So, each painting resonates in its own way. Painting expresses what words can’t say. Pain, joy, and everything in between flow through the hues that transform my canvases. When you match that with natural light or innovative lighting fixtures, you bring your home or office to life with both color and emotion.
Art is a moment, a fleeting feeling. It’s like capturing lightning in a bottle. The moment the inspiration is gone, you can’t force it back or express it artistically.
My paintings are all dimensional. I use cut bowling pins, tennis racquets, PVC pipe, and any other materials found in construction, nature, or your junk drawer to build out from the canvas.
I create abstract acrylic paintings on board, canvas and other materials using recycled and repurposed materials from my garage, house, and junk drawer. I have a passion for recovering and reusing materials from my home construction projects (my wife has an extensive honey-do list for me, especially since I am recently retired). My work is colorful, dimensional, eye-catching, and dynamic. facebook.com/Art-by-Butterartbybutter.com
I create paintings varying from landscapes of local vistas and my travels as well as abstract work. I like to explore the intersection of chaos and order in the world, and a common characteristic through all my artwork is a use of vibrant colors and light.
From the very first time I melted glass, I fell in love with the exquisite colors and exciting chemistry that make it so fun to work with glass. I create unique lampwork glass beads – no two of them are ever exactly the same – and incorporate those beads into my own jewelry designs. My style is rustic and organic and a little bit Boho.
