Artist and designer, Ashley Lane, lives in The Woodlands, TX. Striving to bring focus to the beauty that surrounds us in nature, Ashley intertwines realism and abstraction to capture the spirit of our perfectly imperfect world.
Throughout her life, making art has been an innate desire and a constant pursuit. She grew up overseas where her father was an international businessman and her mother owned an artisan boutique. After graduating from Texas State University with a BA in Mass Communications, she sold an original painting on Facebook and the art journey began.
Ashley is fascinated by nature and wildlife. She enjoys hiking and sightseeing; searching for bits of inspiration. When she’s not in her studio, you can find her spending time with her family and teaching art. artbyashleylane.com

Laura Caffrey finds beauty in the intentionally discarded and the inadvertently abandoned, the crumpled and cracked, and the back sides of things. She is drawn to the varying effects time and the environment have on different materials. With her carefully crafted intimate assemblages, Caffrey calls attention to the curious bits and pieces people may not have had the opportunity or taken the time to notice. With Caffrey’s lifelong fascination with art, architecture, history, sustainability, travel and curation, she has been producing art while learning and working in these fields. Her avid curiosity provides her access to people and places which others may not have, and in most cases, yields the very materials with which she works. She finds amazing things on the ground wherever she goes. Caffrey has collectors nation-wide, shown her work in Austin galleries, participated in the City of Austin’s People Gallery, and in 2018 had a well-received show of 46 pieces at Austin’s Dougherty Arts Center. Caffrey owns and operates Fine Art Services, a 31-year-old custom picture framing shop, in Austin, Texas, where she frames her own work and that of many other local artists, and for interior designers and collectors. Her email is monkeyislandqueen@gmail.com, and images of her work are available at www.facebook.com/caffreyart/ and www.instagram.com/lauracaffreyart/ but she insists the pieces are best viewed in person, given their subtly compelling three-dimensional nature.

She uses high fired ceramics, mixed media collage, ropes, and various weathered materials in her work. Her pottery describes the color pallets, plantlife and tropical bayou landscapes, including the creatures in them.

Robin Whalan is an emerging visual artist, currently working in ink and printmaking. Self-taught, she found her voice through the power of art during the 2020 pandemic. Robin’s work is an expression of her own personal life experiences. A native Houstonian and historical building enthusiast with a background in interior design, she enjoys implementing local architecture, specializing in Art Deco. Her work is an emotional rollercoaster of heartbreak, love, disaster and humor; “relatable” and “honest” being the most commonly used words by viewers when describing her pieces. @robinwhalanart
I am an abstract artist that creates works by utilizing a variety of different techniques. I am drawn to bright colors, metallics, unique patterns and textures. My work is intuitive and driven by the emotion from both the light and dark in the world. I find beauty in the chaos. ldehavenfineart.com | instagram.com/ldehavenfineart | facebook.com/leslie.dehaven
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.
