Coming from an artistic family I’ve always had a knack for drawing and have occasionally dabbled with other artistic pursuits throughout my life. My formal education and career path, however, focused on biology and environmental education, with a gradual shift from managing educational programming to producing publications. While those skill sets remain in my toolbox, I’ve recently begun taking classes at MFAH’s Glassell Studio School and am now focused on my education and development as a fine artist.
Many of my early works were bound up in representing what IS…highly realistic representations of physical objects, animals, plants, and people. Recently I’ve worked to expand my horizons, loosening up in both style and ideation. Currently, my works are often nature-inspired, sometimes figurative and realistic, other times abstract or conceptual. I’m an emerging artist, learning, experimenting, and exploring the realm of what is possible and unbound by adherence to any particular media, technique, or subject matter. Maybe one day I’ll settle in to a marketable artistic “brand” but for now, I thrive on variety.

My work is about the spiritual connection found in natural beauty and the temporal quality of our existence as part of nature. It is done in mixed media, acrylic, collage, water media, and at times encaustic. Working in mixed media lends itself to creating a visceral world made with multiple layers, an approach that imbues the work with meaning through the telling of a story and the passing of time in the process. www.carolinez.com

I make hand-felted accessories and wearable art, like scarves, wraps, arm warmers, hats and garments. Every item is hand-made by me. I choose the finest materials like Merino wool, silk, bamboo, yak, camel and other luxury fibers. I use water, soap and fibers to create my hand-made felt. I also make jewelry out of wool and silk fibers, like twisted felted bracelets, chain earrings and necklaces. I like to dye my own fibers and fabrics for one of kind pieces. I also work with raw, unprocessed wool that I source from small farmers. www.takufelt.etsy.com www.instagram.com/olitaku

Art by Butter
by Craig Butterworth
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-Butter artbybutter.com
Foxfire Galleries – Allison Fox
I create paintings varying from landscapes of local vistas and my travels as well as abstract work. I like to explore the intersection of chaos and order in the world, and a common characteristic through all my artwork is a use of vibrant colors and light.
