I paint a watercolor every day, and post these on my blog, Have Watercolors Will Travel. It’s become a ritual, a meditation of sorts. Finding inspiration and painting daily forces me to really look at the world.

Art is very personal to me. I put a lot of myself in my art. Whether it’s a painting, a collage, or random crafts, everything I do is very personal and an expression of how I feel at that moment in time. Through my art, I can obsess over different interests and express how I feel about the world. One of my favorite things about art is that I can edit the world the way I want to see it. There are no limits. I do a lot of watercolor and acrylic paintings. However, I also make hand-bound art journals, painted boxes, handmade bags and purses, and dread extensions. I do all sorts of arts and crafts. Personally, What makes my art different is my love for women. I try to bring out the beauty in everyone I paint and inspire women to love themselves. Sometimes a little reminder telling you’re beautiful or that everything will be okay is all you need. Facebook Page

I Love Alcohol Ink by Debbie Edmondson
I paint with alcohol ink on tiles or yupo paper. AI is a fun and colorful medium! It only works on non-porous surfaces, and is also very unpredictable because it easily spreads and blurs and drips! But that is the beauty of it and also its unusual poetry. Although it is hard to “paint” with alcohol ink in the proper way, with brushes, it can be done, often with fun, and non-traditional results. But in addition to painting with brushes, I also let the ink drip, run, drizzle, or I spray it with 91% alcohol to further “mess with it!” It is fun and very striking to look at. www.ilovealcoholink.imagekind.com
I am an empty-nester who discovered alcohol ink out of boredom! I have been a singer for years, and that was my artistic outlet. But although I still love almost all kinds of music, I needed a new medium to express myself. I discovered alcohol ink online, and loved the look of it. And it is a fun thing to experiment with—so I hope people like my experiments!

I would describe my work as representational. I paint the people, creatures and landscape around me and that remind me of my rich Texas history. I enjoy painting in acrylic, oil, watercolor, and mixed media…it depends on my mood! I have more ideas than there are hours in a day so my work is always evolving, changing but will always tell my story. I enjoy discussing particular pieces and sharing the story behind each piece! Be sure to stop by my booth and we can have a chat!
I am a Native Texan, 5th generation Houstonian with a rich family history in the Houston, Heights and Galveston areas. My most recent work is inspired by my life! I paint the animals, gardens and people that I see everyday. I paint out of my studio in Kingwood, Texas. If you would like to visit my studio or discuss commissioning a personal, custom piece of art for your home I would love to talk with you!

The Silver Acorn
We all have the desire to belong and to connect. From the first cave drawings to today’s company logos or school mascots, we have used shared symbols to communicate with each other, form social and religious communities, remember together, comfort or inspire each other, and share our life stories. Symbols reflect what we are often unable to put into words. I collect symbolic antique and vintage wax stamps, wax seals from antique documents, and intaglios from the Grand Tour, from which I handcraft beautiful symbolic fine silver and bronze wax seal jewelry that has unique meaning or enduring symbolism. www.thesilveracorn.com 281-794-1180
After spending twelve years in the software industry, with the last two years of it working remotely with my work desk right next to my jeweler’s bench, I feel extremely blessed to be able to pursue my true passion of jewelry making full-time. I love the nature of the handmade process with every piece differing slightly with its own variations and beauty. The Japanese refer to this as wabi sabi – a beauty of things imperfect. It’s the appreciation of the quirks and anomalies arising from the process of construction, which add uniqueness and elegance to the object.
Currently residing in Katy, just outside of Houston, Texas, I design and handcraft each piece in my home studio, with the support of my loving husband, my inquisitive stepdaughter, and two loyal, but lazy dogs by my side.

I create remarkable jewelry from antique and vintage architectural elements, including hinges, keyholes, chandelier parts and doorbells. I also repurpose musical instruments, clock-parts, vintage tools and postage stamps. I search high and low for castoff pieces of the past, then reinvent them. I frame them in classical jewelry settings, to highlight their hidden and often unintended beauty. The result is a striking and adventurous synthesis of industrial strength, history and glamour.

I’m an old hippie whose jewelry making began 20 years ago when on a dare my wife signed me up for a beginner beading class at a local bead shop. I was hooked pretty quickly and began making women’s jewelry using silver, stone and crystal beads and constantly learning techniques to make better pieces. While beading is still a passion, most of my work now is with chain and wire wrap.
Five years ago on yet another dare, I began making rings from old silver coins. I don’t cut or solder the coins. One coin makes one ring and the detail from both sides of the coin is preserved and visible. I fell in love with working metal, and am constantly learning new techniques and exploring the boundaries of turning old coins into cool jewelry. Taking something like a 100-year-old coin and turning it into something it was never intended to be has been an unbelievably rewarding journey, and I love that the possibilities are endless.

I love to paint and that is what I do now. My paintings reflect my life and God’s creation. I render many coastal themed pieces, but also love animals and people. My goal is to reflect the personality of my subjects or the character and charm of objects. Acrylics are my go paint for smaller pieces, but I also use oils.
