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.

I am a visual and installation artist living and working in the Houston Heights. My art focuses on human interaction and individual identity. I draw my inspiration from my experiences and observations of community. I am interested in representing our interactions with others, specifically strangers. I explore the moments in a relationship where our impressions about others and our place in the community are forming. I think about identity and empathy. Who are we and how do we portray that to others? How are we seen? I work often from found photographs and materials, drawing inspiration from the images of people who are strangers to me. I layer in collage elements and mixed media figures or abstract mark making. Most of the pieces require you to get close. There are moments of intimacy and recognition within the larger composition. Meditating on my work reflects the process of getting to know someone for the first time.
I have a passion for upcycling old materials to create colorful and fun dimensional art. I use musical instruments, antique clocks, tennis rackets, and other materials to create abstract faces and characters.
Everything I make is an original piece. My letters and words are assembled using junk drawer and garage sale finds. My vinyl paintings use vintage records that evoke nostalgic feelings. My abstract landscapes are from travel photos, mostly from national parks. Follow my artwork on Instagram.
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.

The objects and natural elements that surround us each day connect us to our lives and the people we share them with. My work is an ongoing exploration of my fascination with our ever-changing skies, the native plants and landscape below them, and still life that shows how we experience these natural elements on a more intimate level by incorporating them into our private spaces. I paint in oil using a mixture of application materials including synthetic and hog hair brushes, dry rags, and a range of palette knives.
My art is primarily oil on canvas, occasionally including collage with Japanese rice paper for texture and added interest. My impasto brushwork and often energetic hues are balanced by a minimalist composition and limited palette.
As a studio artist, I have the freedom to adjust colors and composition of ordinary landscapes with unusual colors and styles.
I’m calling this first painting of 2025, Easy Landing, finished! I don’t know what it is about the sound of waves, the smell of salt air and cry of seagulls that lift my spirit and calm my soul. My love for painting seascapes seems to grow with each finished piece so look for more to come.
I am Zahra Reihani, a self-taught artist and creator of Termeh Handcrafts.
Since childhood, I have had a passion for creating and I have been always been interested in learning new things. I also love painting on canvas, glass, creating decoupage, and leather crafts.
I am a full-time nurse with a passion for art, design and craft, and I find inspiration for my designs from almost everything around me. While creating, I am separated from the world, my spirit and heart are soothed in the creation process.
I hope each piece shows my feelings and makes you happy as well. While creating these pieces of art, I do my best to make every item unique and pay close attention to the details.
My paintings are based on 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 https://deatlyart.net@deatlyarthur

Even though I’m from Houston I received my BFA from Kansas City Art Institute. I was influenced by a professor that said art started and ended with Cezanne. My style is based on the plein air approach of painting from direct observation much like Cezanne approached his subject matter. I go out every week and paint the city I live in, It is my honest response to what I call the Beautiful Ugly that is Houston a place built in a swampy mosquito-infested marshland designed based more on greed happen chance than esthetics. Highway byways bayous and buildings.
