Shannon Mucha Art
Each animal has been inspired by literature or poetry. Whether I am responding to ancient mythology, classic fairytales or modern stories, each character represents aspects of our humanity. These creatures are young and old, simple and layered, vibrant and subdued, royal and common. Animals have a way of connecting us, uniting our differences and blurring political divisions. Even if only for a moment, we feel the freedom to let our guard down. We can simply step back, look into the animals’ eyes, take a deep breath, smile, express gratitude and believe that there is hope for the day when peace returns.

Infraredhead Art
I believe energy is contagious and celebrate the human spirit by extending a colorful show through the end of my paintbrush with bright pops of color and images of activity. I want you to leave my visuals with a “WOW”, a willingness to pop a wheelie, or the need to beat your metaphorical drum.
Aly Creative
What started as a hobby has turned into a creative venture for Edwin
and Elizabeth Ennis, who make wall art from recycled wood with a
modern edge to it. Each piece is 100% handcrafted and carved by this
husband and wife team. While many are similar, each piece has it’s own
uniqueness. Their best sellers focus on Houston, incorporating the
Houston skyline, neighborhoods and street names. They love their
hometown of Houston and find it a privilege to showcase her
originality. www.facebook.com/alittleyum/shop

First Saturday Arts Market
The Market at Sawyer Yards
Volunteering is fun! As an artist, you get to meet other artists you don’t normally have time to when you’re in the show. The market artists requested I try to keep the artist relief “in-house” as much as possible, and it turns out y’all like it!
We’re not a big show – an hour is usually enough time to make the rounds, visit and watch a booth for a few minutes.
*With the new location, I’m finding that I must have help. We no longer have two entrances for load-in. If you do join me (Mitch) early, I’ll buy you lunch! (Most likely a gift card to a local restaurant for use anytime!)
Sarah Rimboch Art
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.”
Grady H. Pennington
by Grady Pennington
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.
