My work is about the spiritual connection found in natural beauty and the temporal quality of our existence as part of nature. It is done in mixed media, acrylic, collage, water media, and at times encaustic. Working in mixed media lends itself to creating a visceral world made with multiple layers, an approach that imbues the work with meaning through the telling of a story and the passing of time in the process. www.carolinez.com
I make hand-felted accessories and wearable art, like scarves, wraps, arm warmers, hats and garments. Every item is hand-made by me. I choose the finest materials like Merino wool, silk, bamboo, yak, camel and other luxury fibers. I use water, soap and fibers to create my hand-made felt. I also make jewelry out of wool and silk fibers, like twisted felted bracelets, chain earrings and necklaces. I like to dye my own fibers and fabrics for one of kind pieces. I also work with raw, unprocessed wool that I source from small farmers. www.takufelt.etsy.comwww.instagram.com/olitaku
My passion is art and my goal is to pursue my dream to become a full-time artist and share my love for art through every piece of art, I create.
My name is Alexandra Quevedo. My friends call me Alex. Born in Monterrey, NL, Mexico, Art has been in my family for many generations. My great uncle, Raul Acevedo was a famous artist in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. Art runs through my veins, As a child, I loved drawing and painting portraits for my family and friends. My art is very colorful and painterly. I have also painted murals in several places in Houston and in Mexico (Residential and Commercial). I have been commissioned to paint portraits for a few famous people, one being the international singer Juan Gabriel.
I have won an award in Primer Encuentro de Artist International. After graduating from University of Houston in 2008 with a degree in Fine Arts(Studio Painting), I decided I wanted to share my love for the arts with each student. The best way was to become a teacher, this is when I earned my bilingual and art education certificate.Â
