At a young age, Sarah discovered her love for art. The process of creating was what sparked her interest. As her love for art continued to grow, she knew the right career choice was to become an artist & art educator. She has now taught art in Houston for 4 years. In 2016, after a life-changing experience, she knew she needed to rediscover her passion for creating. It wasn’t until she started to create again, that she was able to see her true potential as an artist. Her approach to art is intuitive & free flowing as she dives into each new work. She is inspired by color & the process of applying it to her canvas.
“And though the process can sometimes be ugly, it is the final moment that makes it all worth it,” Rimboch said. “Complete satisfaction knowing there is something sitting in front of me that only exists because I created it. And that, is ultimately what fuels my passion.”
I create images of the wilderness embedded in our urban metroplex, letting light and shadow define my subjects. My photos document my walking journey, where I have slowed my pace to really look at my neighborhood in inner loop Houston and to capture moments of beauty that stir the soul.www.pennyraerobinson.com
My new book!
The Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary is a 17.5-acre wildlife preserve in west Houston, Texas. The sanctuary photographs, taken over a seven-month span, feature native birds and wildlife, and display colorful southern seasons. The pictures are accompanied by some of Edith’s writings selected from her small diary. Edith’s words describe her life in the woods, the land that she loved, and her log cabin home.

Bio:
I
grew up in a neighborhood that had been eked out of prairie grasslands
in North Dakota. Dramatic seasonal changes impacted all my senses, from brilliant sun-sparkles on crisply drifted snow,
to the soft sound of undulating prairie grasses in the evening breezes;
from the bitter taste of red rhubarb plucked from our garden to the
breathtakingly sharp smell of twenty below zero. I have touched the wind
and felt the immensity of the sky unrestricted by all except puffy
white clouds in azure summer skies and grey-blue bleary smudges of
winter’s early evenings. There is my heart home.
I have been away from home for over three
decades now. The gentler Houston winters provide grounds for lush
gardens; the soft springs invite long walks and camping trips; the
intensely humid summers force air conditioned hibernation from the
oppressive heat, and the autumns may revive us again with the brilliant
foliage of native trees if we are blessed with a cold kiss from the
north. These southern charms have lodged also in my heart.
It is in the four seasons where I begin to see the eternal creative thought of God. Days and weeks pass by, each one revealing new aspects of God’s wisdom, glory and love. No matter where I find my lodging, I will keep seeking the trails of His beauty to capture expressions of His likeness.

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

After graduating from a Houston art college in 1992, Charlie had a 15-year career as a package designer in a Houston design company. While working on packaging for Minute Maid, Imperial Sugar and Hi-C, Charlie free-lanced as a rock poster artist on the side. After an illness in 2003 left him legally blind in 2007 and corporate downsizing in 2008 left him without a job, Charlie fell back on his love for creating rock posters as a way to earn a living. Now working out of his home studio, Charlie enjoys the time he dedicates to producing posters and exploring other areas of art including painting and print making.
I am a professionally trained artist having earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Houston. Since then I have continued practicing my craft exploring various styles, materials and techniques creating highly detailed pieces. While my work is diverse both in choice of medium and subject matter, it centers around nature and organic forms.
