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-Butter artbybutter.com

I create paintings that show my love for nature and the State of Texas. I use watercolors, oils, and acrylics. 979-864-0155

I have been a potter for over 40 years, beginning as an apprentice in a professional studio in northern New Mexico before finishing my BFA at Northern Arizona University. After establishing Clay Hearts Pottery in Austin Texas, I moved my studio to Wimberley in the Texas Hill Country. My pottery reflects my long study of ceramic history, in particular work done by women. So I hand build my pieces, pinching coils, cutting slabs and reassembling using the techniques learned in the Southwest. My designs, done in glazes I developed, often pull from 19th century Art Pottery and china painting traditions.
All my work is lead-free, safe in the microwave and dish- washer and oven-safe at normal baking temperatures.

My work is inspired by the things that inspire me personally, which are many and varied. As a geoscientist, rocks and stones are almost always my main source of inspiration, especially incredibly well-cut stones from independent lapidary artists.
However, design itself is another influence on my pieces. Bringing shapes, textures, and color together in unexpected ways and the desire to bring jewelry away from the body is, currently, a major influence. In addition to the many things and ideas that inspire me, I want my jewelry to evoke quiet refinement and sophistication while being interesting and wearable. To achieve this, I use minimal styling incorporating clean lines, subtle texturing, and careful attention to finish. My work is set apart by the use of tactile design and 3D elements, like texturing flat silver then manipulating it into domes and folds. It’s comfortable and wearable, but still different enough to incite questions like “Where did you get that?”
