Miriam Lim O’Brien, the owner and creator of Papermolas, draws inspiration from molas, a traditional textile art form of the Guna Indians in Panama and Colombia. Her designs reflect the vibrant patterns and colors of typical molas, combining traditional looks with modern geometric graphics. Initially creating physical paper art, Miriam transitioned to a sustainable digital medium due to time constraints and market demand. She now prints her designs, including greeting cards and coasters, in her home office using professional equipment. All products Miriam presents are her original designs, celebrating the fusion of tradition and modernity in her artwork.
My name is Karina “Aimee” Kudla. Ceramics has been in my heart since I started taking hand building ceramic classes at a community learning center in 2016. I love designing, creating and making things with my own hands. Most of my pieces reflect my admiration for nature. Among my different collections, I design mountains, draw and carve birds, flowers and fruits. Adding details and using different techniques of finishing my design thrills me because I know it’s something unique! Ceramics is always with me and it represents not only how I see things, but who I am.
I have a ceramic studio located in Old Katy, TX, where I teach pottery classes and make handmade ceramic pieces for sale. I attend local art and craft markets and have presence on social media. My passion for ceramics is carried in everything that I do. I knew ceramics was the path that I would take to fulfill my needs in art and the relationship with future customers and students.
I work mostly with mid fire white, red and sometimes black clays. I like trying different types and colors of glazes, however, I strive to form a uniform and consistent finish. I plan colors that would work well together taking in consideration how they work on the specific clay undertone.
Cora makes functional glass art in the form of plates, bowls, and purely decorative art objects. All of her glass is fused glass which means that it is formed under heat in a kiln.

Robin Whalan is an emerging visual artist, currently working in ink and printmaking. Self-taught, she found her voice through the power of art during the 2020 pandemic. Robin’s work is an expression of her own personal life experiences. A native Houstonian and historical building enthusiast with a background in interior design, she enjoys implementing local architecture, specializing in Art Deco. Her work is an emotional rollercoaster of heartbreak, love, disaster and humor; “relatable” and “honest” being the most commonly used words by viewers when describing her pieces. @robinwhalanart
