Tonya Engel is a self-taught artist born in Texas and has established studios in New York, Paris, Miami, Austin and
Houston. Heavily influenced by folk artists of the Deep South and Masters like Mark Chagall, Frida Kahlo, and Romare
Beardon, her contemporary style engages figurative form mixed with emotion & expressionistic boldness.
I approach each piece intuitively. Like a dance, I engage the canvas with movement and strokes and scrumbles and washes. I then step back from the easel and take in the random swoops and drips. A bend of an elbow, a hint of an eye or the slope of an organic shape that occurs after turning the canvas another direction can dictate what will happen next. From beginning to end I’m able to allow each painting to arrive at its completion through intuition. I use Oil, and mixed media and sometimes include collage or text to convey a message.
My art, for me, has become an opportunity to share how I see life, humor & the human spirit. My stories celebrate the
joyful and deeply emotional moments as well as the mundane and unremarkable making us human.

I make hand made glass jewelry in the shape of food. I bring my jewelry pieces to life with cute little faces that are happy or not so impressed. I make fruit as well as junk food and a few things in between. My pieces are available as rings, earrings, necklaces, pins and magnets. I also make screen prints and woodcuts. All of my subject matter is either hand drawn or derive from photos I have taken. They all are very playful and colorful. chillenkimby.com

Art is very personal to me. I put a lot of myself in my art. Whether it’s a painting, a collage, or random crafts, everything I do is very personal and an expression of how I feel at that moment in time. Through my art, I can obsess over different interests and express how I feel about the world. One of my favorite things about art is that I can edit the world the way I want to see it. There are no limits. I do a lot of watercolor and acrylic paintings. However, I also make hand-bound art journals, painted boxes, handmade bags and purses, and dread extensions. I do all sorts of arts and crafts. Personally, What makes my art different is my love for women. I try to bring out the beauty in everyone I paint and inspire women to love themselves. Sometimes a little reminder telling you’re beautiful or that everything will be okay is all you need. Facebook Page
My work is inspired by the colors and curves of Art Nouveau, the Subconscious Dreaminess of Surrealism, Nature, Mythology, and Celestial Concepts. I mainly paint with oils on canvas or wood panel using vibrant colors and free flowing lines. Painting is a way for me to materialize my thoughts and dreams into reality. I believe all forms of art are part of a collective oneness that bind us together as humans and to nature. My goal as an artist is to bring myself out of the ordinary and to inspire others to do the same. valerieroseart.com
My “Mottled Horses” – Equine art developed since 2002 in my new “Mottled” style that merges abstract and expressionism with a touch of realism. The subject is created on a colorful abstract background to express feelings, often shown as a close-up, with special attention to the eyes and focusing on specific moods and composition. Often with secondary transparent image/s to show movement or specific scenario.
In my paintings, I don’t intend to replicate photo-realistic objects, but to capture the utmost uniqueness of life. Illustrating my subjects, I often pay no attention to exact shapes, textures, or real colors and emphasize just on a small fragment, sometimes a very tiny detail, in order to insinuate an idea. That approach leads me to concentrate on what I feel and not what I see or know about the subject. Also, it helps me to effectively use visuals to depict a story about my subject. My art captures just an indication of a subject to leave the rest for my viewer’s imagination to create the unique picture.
