My medium is a varied mix of tiny shells, scraps of paper, slivers of glass, thick gel mediums, crusted gouache additives, creamy acrylic and globs of oil paints, traces of watercolor and melted wax crayons combined with hardened enamels and carefully chosen 14kt gold flake.
Every piece is original and every creation is an unpredictable surprise! I create with a clear heart, no expectations. The materials combined together create a resist-like reaction and the results are different every time…..each piece is genuinely unique and original!
I’m passionate about living the artful life. I have a great appreciation for nature and animals,20% of all sales goes to S.N.A.P. (Spay and Neuter Assistance Program) for animals. I am also an active advocate for the “Adopt Don’t Shop!” movement which means finding forever homes for our homeless furry friends.

Laura Caffrey finds beauty in the intentionally discarded and the inadvertently abandoned, the crumpled and cracked, and the back sides of things. She is drawn to the varying effects time and the environment have on different materials. With her carefully crafted intimate assemblages, Caffrey calls attention to the curious bits and pieces people may not have had the opportunity or taken the time to notice. With Caffrey’s lifelong fascination with art, architecture, history, sustainability, travel and curation, she has been producing art while learning and working in these fields. Her avid curiosity provides her access to people and places which others may not have, and in most cases, yields the very materials with which she works. She finds amazing things on the ground wherever she goes. Caffrey has collectors nation-wide, shown her work in Austin galleries, participated in the City of Austin’s People Gallery, and in 2018 had a well-received show of 46 pieces at Austin’s Dougherty Arts Center. Caffrey owns and operates Fine Art Services, a 31-year-old custom picture framing shop, in Austin, Texas, where she frames her own work and that of many other local artists, and for interior designers and collectors. Her email is monkeyislandqueen@gmail.com, and images of her work are available at www.facebook.com/caffreyart/ and www.instagram.com/lauracaffreyart/ but she insists the pieces are best viewed in person, given their subtly compelling three-dimensional nature.
Tiffany Nesbit is a New Orleans artist, now working in Houston. Her studio practice is heavily influenced by both walks in the wilderness and urban areas of the southern states. She uses high fired ceramics, mixed media collage, ropes, and various weathered materials in her work. Her pottery describes the color pallets, plantlife and tropical bayou landscapes, including the creatures in them. You can find more of her installation work online at: www.tiffanyangelnesbit.com or follow her instagram @tiffanyangelstudioartist
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
I am an abstract artist that creates works by utilizing a variety of different techniques. I am drawn to bright colors, metallics, unique patterns and textures. My work is intuitive and driven by the emotion from both the light and dark in the world. I find beauty in the chaos. ldehavenfineart.com | instagram.com/ldehavenfineart | facebook.com/leslie.dehaven
I am an abstract artist based out of Houston. My primary mediums are acrylics and watercolor, and my work is characterized by the use of texture, mixed media, and collage elements. My paintings invite viewers to take a closer look in order to appreciate the tactile components and hidden details, neither of which are immediately evident when each piece is viewed as a whole. I find inspiration in the industrial neighborhood in which I reside, as well as in the cultures, history, and cityscapes I have experienced in my travels. This inspiration is manifested through the colors, textures, geometric themes, and found objects that comprise my body of work.
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
