Penny’s endless fascination with gemstones has inspired her to incorporate these artworks from Mother Nature into her own art. She loves experimenting and combining metal and stone in novel and unexpected ways to create one-of-a-kind, rustic pieces that have that special soulful feel that only handmade treasures can provide. Penny infuses a bit of her heart and soul into each piece in the hopes that her clients will sense the love that goes into each one and find a connection with the pieces that called to them.
“I strive to create jewelry that brings to its wearers confidence, joy, and the courage to embrace authenticity, and to share their uniqueness with the world.”
My name is Karina “Aimee” Kudla. Ceramics has been in my heart since I started taking hand building ceramic classes at a community learning center in 2016. I love designing, creating and making things with my own hands. Most of my pieces reflect my admiration for nature. Among my different collections, I design mountains, draw and carve birds, flowers and fruits. Adding details and using different techniques of finishing my design thrills me because I know it’s something unique! Ceramics is always with me and it represents not only how I see things, but who I am.
I have a ceramic studio located in Old Katy, TX, where I teach pottery classes and make handmade ceramic pieces for sale. I attend local art and craft markets and have presence on social media. My passion for ceramics is carried in everything that I do. I knew ceramics was the path that I would take to fulfill my needs in art and the relationship with future customers and students.
I work mostly with mid fire white, red and sometimes black clays. I like trying different types and colors of glazes, however, I strive to form a uniform and consistent finish. I plan colors that would work well together taking in consideration how they work on the specific clay undertone.
Large Vibrant Photography is the best way to describe my art. I am local to the Heights and have been an avid photographer for many years. My art is bright, colorful, saturated, and tac sharp as I control the entire process from taking the photo, developing, printing matting and framing. My pictures are often of local landmarks and I work to show them in new light and perspective through long exposures to encourage the viewer to continue getting closer and closer to discover more that they might see at first glance. I love travel, adventure, and artistic exploration and seek to share my journey with others.
I began drawing and painting in 2021 during the Covid Pandemic at the age of 52! Working from home and unable to get out I picked up a book, The Artist’s Way, that I had had for years but never read. That book changed my life. I realized that I had always been called to create and I was finally ready to embrace it!
I began drawing and painting and I can’t stop. I particulary love Faces and Flowers and using all kinds of art supplies to create texture and layers. Life is beautiful and messy and imperfect and I embrace all of it. I hope you feel that – along with a sense of play, in my work.
It’s never too late to follow your dream or to learn a new thing! I still have my day job (which I love) in the corporate world and I’m creating as much as I can in between meetings!
I hope my art brings you as much joy as creating it brings me.

Hi, it’s Diana, aka. Life Beneath the Pines. I am inspired by the repetition, pattern, texture, rhythm, and yumminess, I find in nature, baking, literature, and textiles, and I practice translating that into photographs, mixed media paintings, and quilts.
My art is conceptual, accessible, quirky, and has been called “cute”. There’s a story behind each piece. I’d love to hear what story you find or to share my story with you.
Currently, I have a series of distorted portraits inspired by the challenged book In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak, a series of abstracted florals inspired by the three-song playlist: “I Can’t Stand the Rain” by Tina Turner, “Come to My Window” by Melissa Etheridge, and “Coming Home” by Ulali, a series of black and white photographs inspired by texture in nature, and old denim repurposed into crazy quilt(s).
Tiffany Nesbit is a New Orleans artist, now working in Houston. Her studio practice is heavily influenced by both walks in the wilderness and urban areas of the southern states. 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. You can find more of her installation work online at: www.tiffanyangelnesbit.com or follow her instagram @tiffanyangelstudioartist
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
My art is a visual journey. Color and emotions and energy are what my art is all about and i am honored when a client connects with my art. ~ Elaine Lanoue
