Paper craft/journals
I create art journals in a variety of styles. Bright, colorful, vintage, fun, and funky. What makes my journals unique is the hand dyed, hand designed paper. I use coffee, and yes…you can get a caffeine buzz! I have heard that coffee absorbs faster through the skin than if you drink it. I’m not sure if this is true but I do know it’s not a good idea to dye coffee paper before bedtime! I found that out the first time I did it. I also use koolaid, spray inks, and acrylic paint. Besides these mediums my journals include unusual paper findings from estate sales, craft paper, old book pages, playing cards, doilies, sheet music, popcorn bags, tracing paper, handmade envelopes, altered paper clips and some rubber stamping.

Exquisite Stained Glass Texas
by Linda Hicks
Custom designed and handcrafted stained glass.
We have been designing and custom building stained glass art since 1999. We are Texans and our “Texana” line is what makes us different from most stained glass artisans; especially our fireplace screens. Also, we use a completely different technique in framing; which is in copper. We build in all aspects of stained glass, lead, renaissance copper foil, faceted glass and mosaics.

As far as I can remember I always had a lot of fun creating art. Making drawings of crazy characters has always been my way of generating smiles around me. In the year 2003 I began to paint. My basic idea was to transport the characters that I drew on paper to canvas. Starting from scratch, I experimented with oil paints for two years, painting wildly away without a lot of direction. Good times. Then I met this wise man named Jan Buytaert, who taught me how to use acrylic paint. This was the most important change in my painting style. Acrylics were the tools I needed to shape my own little world and bring my little weird characters to life. My main aim while painting is to have fun and enjoy the moment. I want to capture this good vibe in my paintings and transfer it to the public. This usually results in joyful works full of color and positive energy. With my paintings I like to invite viewers to look at the world through the eyes of a child and to revisit a childhood past of curiosity and enthusiastic discovery.

I work primarily in oils on canvas or a masonite panel. Examples of these are The Bride Reclining, The Guitarist, The Ballerina. However, I have worked using other media such as acrylics [The Naval Officer] watercolors, graphite pencil [The Lady Wearing A Pearl Necklace], pastel [The Girl Wearing The Sunflower Hat] and prismacolor colored pencils [At The Beach]. I like to build up the layers to create a finished appearance in as realistic a way as I can possibly accomplish.
I am also able to create three dimensional sculptures of figures which vary in size between 12 and 24 inches in height. I currently use as my medium a modeling compound, the main components of which are clay, plaster and papier mache, applying one layer at a time. Each successive layer is allowed to dry and the final sculpture has a tough, durable texture.
I am continually learning and endeavoring to develop and improve my craft.
Splash Fine Art
by Stella and Philippe Coupe
Macro Splash: We create these singular shapes through the collision of water, cream, paint, or ink droplets. Their various shapes and colors depend on the temperature, viscosity, gravity, density, and volume of the liquids we use. We work with black acrylic or pan filled with liquid in order to reflect the splash. Due to the laws of physics, the end result is often the opposite of what you’d expect.
Mega Splash: Our mega splashes, often called “jelly fish”, because they look like a form of marine creatures, are carried out by propelling water mixed with inks or/and paint of different colors, using a compressor. These water sculptures flow in the air to 6 or 8 feet high. The different shapes are obtained by modifying pressure and the pipe of water supply, which allows breaking the original shape of the “jelly fish” into fairy tale flowers for example. Under pressure, the water extracts the dies which will color the water column. The crystal appearance and the magical transparency looks like the work of a glassblower.
Fluid Painting: In the pouring acrylic painting technique, the paint is not applied with a brush or palette knife, but rather use gravity to move the paint across a surface by tilting it. The results are unlike anything you can get with a brush. The fluid flows without any brush marks or texture. We take macro photography of this psychedelic paint while it still wet and alive by choosing the best swirls. Things always look so different once dry.
Our technique:
Our splash photographs reveal unique liquid sculptures, created by the collision of water, cream, paint, or ink droplets or by using gravity to move the paint across a surface by tilting it. These liquids in motion are frozen in time by a high-speed flash of light. Our art prints are created with a dye sublimation process on aluminum so the colors become a magical luminescence.
Rainy Day Illustrations
Rainy Day Illustrations is a collaboration between myself, Annie Peck and my mother Suzanne Simmons. We started this business because I saw a void in the artwork available to me. I wanted to fill my home with artwork that highlighted the beauty of my everyday and I couldn’t find it. That’s when I reached out to my extremely talented mother and we began collaborating and creating the artwork you see.
We specialize in watercolor prints as well as photography and watercolor wood transfers. Our watercolor artwork is done by my mother and her years of experience as an illustrator is evident as the detail and elegance she provides to each subject is unmatched.
