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.

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
