Hand built clay art – both functional and sculptural pieced together from slabs leaving seams and fingerprints obvious. Doni uses darts like a seamstress and indents into the soft clay to create gesture and whimsical shape so that each piece might have a personality.
I am a girl from Ukraine who traveled to the shores of America on a big boat from my financial world career seeking to express myself in an art world. First I landed in the fashion world and after two years of school realized I am happier cutting paper in floral petal shapes and putting them together into giant paper flowers! This is when I moved to the Paper Floral world. And I am still here. I decorate special occasions with my flowers, I make jewelry combining paper and precious metals, I make art pieces to put on the walls of houses, nurseries, offices, store fronts. My most recent passion is to enclose my paper flowers in acrylic boxes. Also make little side tables out of them. or hang the boxed flowers on the walls and it gives you an illusion of the flower floating in the air!

I love bringing color and vibrancy to a world that sometimes may seem a little drab. My Encaustic paintings are comprised of many colors, textures, and other media that tell a story through abstract or imagery. Each painting starts with Encaustic Wax and as the painting progresses, layers of wax are built up and other media is incorporated. With many of my paintings, you will find wax carvings, image transfers, metallic powdered pigments, oil stick, pastels, graphite, fiber, metal leafing, and many other components.
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 worked in the banking industry for as long as I can remember, you know one of those boring people you only spoke to when you had to. My Mother had recently retired from her life long job and we were trying to find her a hobby. We decided to look into beading, Mother wasn’t interested; but I was IMMEDIATELY hooked.
I started out small, buying inexpensive beads for myself and family members. Customers at the bank began commenting on my jewelry and wanted to know where I had bought the piece. When I told them I had made them and they were for sale I quickly became a walking jewelry store. Rarely did I make it home with the jewelry I had worn leaving the house.
Now I am retired and design constantly, there isn’t a room in the house that doesn’t have a bead somewhere. Previously I bought jewelry to match my clothes, NOW I buy clothes to match my jewelry.
Varied styles ranging from military/aviation, surreal/sci-fi, realism

Market manager Mitch Cohen interviewed Jack for his arts column in The Leader Newspaper.
Read it here!
From the thriving city of Houston, Texas, Jack Connelly is an artist whose passion is capturing history, action, wonder and imagination on canvas. Jack has been creating art since the moment he could lift a pencil, and has been an active participant in the professional art world for about 35 years.
In Jack’s opinion, painting is one of the most unrestricted and freeing forms of expression. Most of his pieces are created in acrylic and/or oil paint, although Jack has extensive experience with watercolor, graphite, and mixed media as well.
In the 1980’s and 1990’s, Jack took on a nomadic lifestyle as a full-time art show vendor, displaying his art in an average of three to four shows a week in the South Texas area. Jack has also taught several art classes in the past (and wishes to teach more in the future), and enjoys sharing his knowledge, experience, and guidance with others in order for them to learn and practice painting, as well as develop their art skills and techniques.
Jack Connelly’s styles include (but not limited to) military & aviation, sci-fi, surrealism, realism, impressionism, and abstract art.
Commission paintings are regularly requested and are a major part of Jack’s art career. Many of Jack’s commissions have been for veterans or their families, in hopes of passing down their legacy and honor those who have served their country. He loves to take memories, events, dreams, ideas, etc. and bring them to life on canvas. This gives him the ability to share his passion with others while providing for them a unique keepsake; their personal story told in paint and filled with detail, never to be forgotten.
Yes, It’s paper! My collage process begins when I paint and texture paper of all kinds to create my “palette.” At any given time I have over 1,000 sheets of painted paper in every hue. Papers will include sheet music, sandwich wrappers, dictionary pages, etc. The paper is torn by hand and placed individually. Take a closer look. You might find a piece of poetry or a technical drawing hiding in plain sight. www.LisaMoralesMixedMedia.com 713-240-1227
