I work in egg tempera, acrylic and pastel. My first art event in Houston was at Yale Street Arts Market in June 2005. I was at the first First Saturday in March 2006 and the first White Linen Night in August 2006.
Martin will be painting live near the Market booth!
Egg tempera was the primary painting medium for nearly every painter in the European Medieval and Early Renaissance period up to 1500. For example, every surviving panel painting by Michelangelo is egg tempera. Egg tempera, is a permanent, fast-drying painting medium consisting of colored pigments mixed with a water-soluble binder medium, usually glutinous material such as egg yolk. Tempera paintings are very long-lasting, and egg tempera was a primary method of painting until after 1500 when it was superseded by the invention of oil painting. I use egg tempera because it is water soluble like acrylic, it is very fast drying and — in my opinion — it has the lustre of oil without the mess.
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
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.

At a time in my life when I desperately needed to be saved—the single, simple act of picking up a paintbrush saved me. I now see life through the constantly changing combination of colors that I paint. Even the smallest emotion is magnified in the fusion of colors— vibrant and delicate alike. So I want to make original art accessible to everyone in hopes that others are inspired to search for the same kind of serenity and satisfaction that painting has brought to my soul. www.aprilstrahanart.com@aprilstrahanfacebook.com/aprilstrahanart
Scottish by birth, hence the company name, moved to Texas in 1997 and discovered “glass” as a medium to express my artistry
Now I create imagery on fused glass by using an etching technique along with glass powders and frit. Facebook.com/LorainesCelticCreations
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 think I was in 4th grade when someone told me I had something with colors. But it took me quite some time before I really started painting, first I was painting in an impressionist style, just because I fell in love with the colors of Provence. But my real love is abstract painting … there is so much creativity involved. It’s all about colors, balance, energy …
