My paintings are based on direct observation. I take my French easel out into the city I call home, Houston TX. The subject matter, although always changing, is often the confluence of what I love about Houston; it’s buildings, bayous, highways, tree-lined streets and lush parks and gardens. I hope you can see the beauty of Houston in my Urban Landscapes. 713-305-6626 https://deatlyart.net@deatlyarthur

Even though I’m from Houston I received my BFA from Kansas City Art Institute. I was influenced by a professor that said art started and ended with Cezanne. My style is based on the plein air approach of painting from direct observation much like Cezanne approached his subject matter. I go out every week and paint the city I live in, It is my honest response to what I call the Beautiful Ugly that is Houston a place built in a swampy mosquito-infested marshland designed based more on greed happen chance than esthetics. Highway byways bayous and buildings.
Large colorful art is what I love to make, trendy fads, pop items and the culture of America are the things that inspire me. Follow on Instagram: @lenorapalacios_fineart
I would describe my work as representational. I paint the people, creatures and landscape around me and that remind me of my rich Texas history. I enjoy painting in acrylic, oil, watercolor, and mixed media…it depends on my mood! I have more ideas than there are hours in a day so my work is always evolving, changing but will always tell my story. I enjoy discussing particular pieces and sharing the story behind each piece! Be sure to stop by my booth and we can have a chat!
I am a Native Texan, 5th generation Houstonian with a rich family history in the Houston, Heights and Galveston areas. My most recent work is inspired by my life! I paint the animals, gardens and people that I see everyday. I paint out of my studio in Kingwood, Texas. If you would like to visit my studio or discuss commissioning a personal, custom piece of art for your home I would love to talk with you!
I’m an old hippie whose jewelry making began 20 years ago when on a dare my wife signed me up for a beginner beading class at a local bead shop. I was hooked pretty quickly and began making women’s jewelry using silver, stone and crystal beads and constantly learning techniques to make better pieces. While beading is still a passion, most of my work now is with chain and wire wrap.
Five years ago on yet another dare, I began making rings from old silver coins. I don’t cut or solder the coins. One coin makes one ring and the detail from both sides of the coin is preserved and visible. I fell in love with working metal, and am constantly learning new techniques and exploring the boundaries of turning old coins into cool jewelry. Taking something like a 100-year-old coin and turning it into something it was never intended to be has been an unbelievably rewarding journey, and I love that the possibilities are endless.

Design Aesthetic: I prefer designs that highlight the natural beauty of stones using the classic elements of jewelry design with a modern interpretation to reflect a timeless statement of personal style.
Each piece is handmade out of a combination of sterling silver, fine silver, gold-filled wire, copper, and/or precious stones. My designs are simple and clean. I express the inherent beauty of the silver by hammering, twisting, soldering, wrapping, etc. The shape of the silver itself, along with the contrasting scales of materials provides elegant and interesting designs. silverthread-designs.com
I’ve been working with silver for over 20 years. I began taking classes in Columbus, Ohio from a wonderful woman named Wilma Cecil. I immediately loved metal as an artwork medium. Then I moved to Austin, Texas to study architecture at the University of Texas. While I was there, I further developed my silversmithing skills by taking classes in the School of Fine Arts. I graduated with a degree in Architecture in 1997 and moved to Houston, Texas where I practiced Architecture for the last 17 years. My jewelry, of course, is influenced by my Architectural education. The balance of form, scale, and texture is as important in a small piece of jewelry as it is in a large building.
I take care and pride while creating each design. I hope you will enjoy each piece as much as I enjoyed making it.

My art can range from bold bright colors to dark tones. I enjoy subject matter from landscapes to mysterious women. I enjoy using soft strokes or a textured look all in one painting. @cheriesalinas96 361-235-9153
Cherie Salinas resides in Katy, Texas with her husband, son, and three dogs. She is a self-taught artist who enjoys multiple mediums such as oil, acrylic, and even melting crayons on canvas.
Her latest works explore the human form and the wonderful things that God has made such as animals or luscious fruit.
Her last solo show was at Piola downtown Houston which ran January to March of this year.
Cherie is influenced by Monet’s mixing colors on the canvas and the texture Van Gough achieved.
This artist’s work runs the gamut of emotions from quiet peacefulness to frail darkness.
“I enjoy hearing how each person sees art differently. One person sees a sunrise, the other sees a sunset.” Salinas explained.
My work reflects my emotional, physical, financial, intellectual, spiritual, and addiction struggles that have plagued me. I love to create artistic creative story telling images. I shoot perspective, long exposure, fish-eye landscape shots. I had to know the box before I could think outside it. www.jeffersoncarroll.com 832-508-1924
