I founded and operate First Saturday Arts Market, a monthly outdoor fine arts event. My mission has always been to connect artists directly with the public in a festive atmosphere, and it has certainly succeeded! It is by far one of my proudest accomplishments.

Assemblage artist, maker of the strange, just another human.
Danita Vanhoose’s paper collage was shaped by a nomadic lifestyle that started in the Pacific Northwest and took her across the country many times over. Her art pieces often appear as disjointed memories by combining vintage photographs, stains, decals and various types of paper. continued below
Her art journey began in earnest after an impromptu collaboration that led to open call art shows while living in Florida. A grocery order writer by profession, Vanhoose continued testing the boundaries of supplies and patience in New York until moving to Houston in 2017. Houston’s vast and diverse arts community sparked her passion for sculpting out of recycled and repurposed materials and found her true passion, paper collage. Evidence of an early childhood love for art, favorite pastimes and travel are evident in the stories that Vanhoose skillfully weaves from her 2D paper collages.

The Painted Ladies –
“My work consists of hand painted pieces, using acrylic paints, on cotton stretched canvas. I draw inspiration from the wonderful imaginative works of William Blake as well as my personal belief in the power of our imagination and our minds. From this I infuse the landscapes of my desert home to create vibrant expressions of work. Being a self-taught artist I have journeyed to create my own style of work and I am proud to bring my collection to the public and make art accessible for everyone.”
