My medium is a varied mix of tiny shells, scraps of paper, slivers of glass, thick gel mediums, crusted gouache additives, creamy acrylic and globs of oil paints, traces of watercolor and melted wax crayons combined with hardened enamels and carefully chosen 14kt gold flake.
Every piece is original and every creation is an unpredictable surprise! I create with a clear heart, no expectations. The materials combined together create a resist-like reaction and the results are different every time…..each piece is genuinely unique and original!
I’m passionate about living the artful life. I have a great appreciation for nature and animals,20% of all sales goes to S.N.A.P. (Spay and Neuter Assistance Program) for animals. I am also an active advocate for the “Adopt Don’t Shop!” movement which means finding forever homes for our homeless furry friends.

My paintings are based on direct observation. I take my French easel out into the city I call home, Houston TX. The subject matter, although always changing, is often the confluence of what I love about Houston; it’s buildings, bayous, highways, tree-lined streets and lush parks and gardens. I hope you can see the beauty of Houston in my Urban Landscapes. 713-305-6626 https://deatlyart.net@deatlyarthur

Even though I’m from Houston I received my BFA from Kansas City Art Institute. I was influenced by a professor that said art started and ended with Cezanne. My style is based on the plein air approach of painting from direct observation much like Cezanne approached his subject matter. I go out every week and paint the city I live in, It is my honest response to what I call the Beautiful Ugly that is Houston a place built in a swampy mosquito-infested marshland designed based more on greed happen chance than esthetics. Highway byways bayous and buildings.
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.”
For as long as I can remember, I have been interested in art. People who are familiar with my work would probably be surprised to learn that my first love was pen and ink. I chose to draw because, at the time, I did not have a true understanding of how color works.
Through the years, I acquired formal training, attending The University of North Texas in Denton, Texas, where I studied advertising art. I then went to Art Center College of Design in Pasadena California concentrating in illustration. At this point in my life, I needed to pursue a career, so I received training by attending audio/visual, photo retouching, and illustration software classes at Houston Community College.
My formal training in college dealt with realism, drawing, design, painting, and some three-dimensional work. I gradually developed my own style.
At the age of 29, the world of color opened up to me when I was fortunate to study with Leo Davis, a professor at the University of Arkansas. It was there that I experimented with silkscreen, calligraphy, watercolor, and graphic design.
Because I am somewhat colorblind I use the color straight from the tube mixed with water onto the watercolor paper and let the colors blend by lifting the paper up and down and right to left, allowing the colors to flow into one another, creating pure color blends.
I use watercolor on yupo paper as well as the traditional watercolor paper. I have experimented with alcohol inks on yupo paper as well. I also enjoy computer graphics and programs designed for painting on the computer.
Watercolor is truly an exciting and rewarding medium to work with.
