Fatima’s Art Studio

/ , ,

Fatima Khambati, a self-taught artist from Houston, has been captivated by art for as long as she can remember. Over time, her creative journey led her to explore various media, eventually discovering a love for watercolors. “I appreciate the medium’s loose qualities and natural luminosity on white paper,” she says, noting that its unpredictable results make each piece unique. Inspired by nature—especially wildlife and flowers—Fatima strives to capture their essence in her work.

She markets and sells her original artwork on Instagram and Etsy, while also participating in local markets where art lovers can experience her pieces up close. Each of her artworks is one-of-a-kind, and she also offers high-quality Giclee prints, made with archival inks and acid-free papers.

Danita Vanhoose’s paper collage was shaped by a nomadic lifestyle that started in the Pacific Northwest and took her across the country many times over. Her art pieces often appear as disjointed memories by combining vintage photographs, stains, decals and various types of paper. continued below

Her art journey began in earnest after an impromptu collaboration that led to open call art shows while living in Florida. A grocery order writer by profession, Vanhoose continued testing the boundaries of supplies and patience in New York until moving to Houston in 2017. Houston’s vast and diverse arts community sparked her passion for sculpting out of recycled and repurposed materials and found her true passion, paper collage. Evidence of an early childhood love for art, favorite pastimes and travel are evident in the stories that Vanhoose skillfully weaves from her 2D paper collages.

I believe that the right painting in the right place can turn your day around for the better. In my art I like to romanticize ordinary places and things. I have an ability to see the beauty all around me-even filling up at the gas station, loading my car in the Walmart parking lot, or making breakfast. I try to focus on the joyful and beautiful moments in everyday life. With my art, I help others slow down and remember the good things they have right now in this moment.
I paint usually with oil, and occasionally acrylic.

Lili’s Sweethearts

/ , , ,

My Latin American origins heavily influence my work. I pay homage in all my paintings to the diversity of the women in the world, including indigenous people, artists, and the everyday fighter. My work is colorful and often includes hidden words, messages, and poems I wrote to give each piece a unique feel and a deeper meaning. My goal is that every piece brings color and history to their future forever home.

Hashem Studio

/ , , , , , ,

Love of art has always been a major part of my life. Growing up in a remote area in Lebanon, I spent my childhood on hillsides entertaining myself by using natural environment to make art, creating miniature villages using twigs, mud, pebbles, seashells and other flotsam. Bullet casings and exploded shrapnel afforded excellent miniature construction material. I started my career as a molecular biologist, but I never gave up art, filling up any free time creating something. After taking my first class in ceramics 10+ years ago, I fell in love and decided to give it 100% of my attention. Turning mud into a mug involves physics, chemistry, and cognitive constructional abilities, yet is ultimately controlled by the unpredictable whims of the kiln gods, … and playing with clay is cheaper than psychotherapy. I replaced scientific experimentation with experimentation with clay. I am constantly trying new techniques, materials, and glazes, giving rise to my eclectic style. There will always be something new and different in my collection. You can view current works by following me on Instagram or my website.

I am an artist who is also a singer, songwriter, and award-winning writer and producer in the entertainment industry. I love the canvas because to me it represents a clean slate for inner expression.

I work with acrylics, oils, or gouache and create works pulled from emotions and thoughts from my love of the world we live on and the Universe we live within.

I believe the Universe is an ever-expanding colorful force of life and I try to allow the thoughts and feelings of mindful, passionate creativity to flow into my canvases. While visiting my gallery at First Saturday Arts Market or my online profile, I hope that you can sit, breathe, look at my paintings and see what emotions/moods it inspires in you.
