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.

Make a Wish
Driving Rush Hour
Horse’s Eye
Antelope Canyon Triptych

Make a Wish – simply that…go to a moment where you can dream and wish on it.

Driving Rush Hour – 5pm in the high traffic zone out in the west – lots of horse power passing by.

Horse’s Eye – This horse thought he was a lap dog, inching very close to me so I decided to capture him upclose and personal. What he was looking at was not me, rather the exit out of his coral.

The Hawicz Collection

/ , , ,

The Hawicz Collection of decorative masks and egg artistry are created by Basia Haszlakiewicz. Masks are her preferred choice of artistic expression, as varied as the people we meet on a daily basis. “Pisanki” are decorated Easter eggs, in the tradition of the Slavic folk art. Basia has taken this craft to new dimension and infused them with stories and fantasies on a tiny scale. 

The compositions are primarily a product of found objects, accumulated over many decades including a variety of embellishments, toys, nail art, seashells, stones, jewels, hardware, and just an unusual combination of everyday “stuff”. Each work starts with a palette of materials that evolves, unfolds. The artist’s studio is a cornucopia of tools, adhesives, and findings.

On Clouds of Fleece

by Precia Harthco

Precia Harthco has a Bachelor of Arts degree in interior design, specializing in hospitality design.

“Crafting has always been a part of my life,” she says. “In the 70s I dabbled in macrame and decoupage. The 80s and 90s saw stained glass and copper foiling. At the turn of the century everything was fair game: Jewelry, etched glass, beading, ballroom dance dresses, but by then I was really focusing on my interior designs. In 2020 during the COVID epidemic I finally found wet-felting and realized it combined all my creative cravings: the color pallet is infinite, I learn new techniques almost every day, the experience is refreshing, the tactile involvement is cathartic, and each piece I complete makes me want to do more.”

Finally settling in Houston, Texas, she has a small home studio where she spends her days blending colors and textures to create the perfect piece.

Summer Lydick

www.summerlydick.com @summerlydick.art

I paint big, colorful flowers. I am fascinated by the repetitive shapes, the colors, and the energy of plants and flowers. They are each so unique and different, almost as if they have little personalities. I love the big bold varieties of sunflowers and zinnias, as well as exotic tropicals like hibiscus and bird of paradise. I could paint them for hours and never get tired of it. I keep my garden chock-full of all these types so I get to live with them and study them. They are constantly making me smile and informing my work.

My art is uplifting and positive. There’s enough heavy negativity these days, so I’m doing my part to put positive energy back into the world. Color saves lives. It inspires us to think better, work smarter, and play more. My art is about beauty, color, and joy, and ultimately, it’s about hope.
