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.
Ever since I was little, I have loved LEGO®. When I got older and became an artist, I thought, why not combine the two! I’m Knockout Bricks and I’m a LEGO® artist! I make 2D and 3D mosaics out of LEGO®! Every piece of art I make are with 100% LEGO® bricks and they are never painted! They are all authentic LEGO® colors. Each unique piece I create, I always learn more and more how the pieces I use are just like painting. It takes a mixture of the right colors and balance to produce some incredible results. Come check out how I ended up making such unique pieces of LEGO® art!
I’m a storyteller with my jewelry. It can be a story of a painting which I saw, bird in a nature or at the sea, flowers in the garden, etc. Anything which I saw and fell in love with. I use different techniques in my work but my specialty is filigree.
I am based in Houston, TX with Austin roots. I have evolved in my artistic approach, driven by shifts in frame of mind through life’s challenges and joys. My creative process does not always begin with a vision, but instead an experience in mind. My profession is highly technical and I am a mother of young twin boys, so my art allows me to escape a sometimes regimented and stressful life to expose my multi-faceted self – sophistication with a hint of chaos and a pop of vibrancy.
Jenn Bianco is a Houston based artist with Austin roots. She has evolved in her artistic approach, driven by shifts in frame of mind through life’s challenges and joys. Growing up in Austin she was passionate about art and had numerous creative outlets, from singing in bands, to throwing pottery and various creative projects that she would immerse herself in. Jenn would go on to study accounting at the University of Texas at Austin and would later become a Certified Public Accountant at a big four accounting firm. Jenn has always been academically driven and competitive, and sometimes struggled to allow herself to explore her artistic passions. While Jenn has painted for over 10 years, her artistic aspirations have quite often stood in the shadows of her professionalobligations. When she and her husband had their amazing identical twin boys she felt there simply wasn’t enough ‘room’ in her life for art.

While working from home and caring for her family during the pandemic, she could no longer suppress the need to express herself through art. Jenn found herself pouring her heart and soul into abstract expressionism, experimenting with different acrylic mediums, spray paint and drip/pour techniques. She couldn’t get the ideas and visions out quickly enough and in just under 5 months found herself with a collection of over 20 pieces, ready and eager to commercialize her passion. Her supportive husband, Lenny, even took on a newfound hobby of his own, making custom wood frames for her pieces to compliment her bold and commanding artwork.
Jenn’s artwork allows her to escape a sometimes regimented and stressful life to expose her multi-faceted self that has always been there and now refuses to hide. She shows her authentic self through her painting; sophistication with a hint of chaos and a pop of vibrancy.
“I love working with wood. Driftwood and weathered wood have so much character, and when the interior is exposed, unexpected things happen. I often don’t have any idea what the finished piece will look like until it’s done. And for me, that’s why I do it.”
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 photography of the natural world ranges from the realistic to the abstract, from monotone to soft saturations to luminous color. I often explore the boundary between photography and painting. My approach is not uniform; I begin with what each scene offers and create what works best for that image. Some images simply rely on the power of their existing form, light, and shadow. As the image allows, I layer in interpretations evoking pointillism, watercolor, abstractions hidden in natural details, or other artistic references.
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
Vincent Fink is a contemporary surrealist working out of his Winter Street Studio in the Arts District where he tirelessly adds to a multitude of expansive, award-winning projects. He instills messages of esoteric knowledge and cultural story-telling into each piece he creates.
Vincent Fink’s work is surrealism in it’s purest form. His dark images with warped perspectives invite the viewer into a world that came from a lucid dream in which he observed the completed work. Pushing himself to recreate something that was beyond his imagination and skill in his waking life, Vincent has used this inspiration to develop the Metamorphosis Project, a concept that continues to spawn the hidden messages of his dreams.
