Aimee’s Handcrafts

My name is Karina “Aimee” Kudla. Ceramics has been in my heart since I started taking hand building ceramic classes at a community learning center in 2016. I love designing, creating and making things with my own hands. Most of my pieces reflect my admiration for nature. Among my different collections, I design mountains, draw and carve birds, flowers and fruits. Adding details and using different techniques of finishing my design thrills me because I know it’s something unique! Ceramics is always with me and it represents not only how I see things, but who I am.

I have a ceramic studio located in Old Katy, TX, where I teach pottery classes and make handmade ceramic pieces for sale. I attend local art and craft markets and have presence on social media. My passion for ceramics is carried in everything that I do. I knew ceramics was the path that I would take to fulfill my needs in art and the relationship with future customers and students.

I work mostly with mid fire white, red and sometimes black clays. I like trying different types and colors of glazes, however, I strive to form a uniform and consistent finish. I plan colors that would work well together taking in consideration how they work on the specific clay undertone.

My first-grade teacher sent my report card to my parents stating how much the class liked my artwork. Art was my favorite class in grade school, followed by several years as an art major at The University of Houston. Art has always brought comfort to me in hard times and pleasure when life was good. Now, the focus is experimental art combining different color combinations, different materials, and combining found objects to create an art piece. I have recently started painting small pieces in between painting larger canvases, they helped lift my spirit during the isolation from the Covid pandemic. My art also includes metal and glass sculptures which I find really fun to create.

She is experimental in her approach, pushing the boundaries of traditional mediums and materials as well as subject matter. She embodies the notion that being inspired by one’s surroundings keeps one young.

She delights in expressing what she sees in vibrant colours. As a lifelong artist she has created art with a variety of materials including fabrics, wood, shells, beads, seeds, stones, and any material that works for her vision.

I create self-portraits. While these self-portraits center on me and my individual experiences, many of the themes within them are part of a broader narrative. That is not to say I am trying to speak for others. Rather, self-portraiture allows me to process what is happening around me in a way that provides a springboard for myself and others to discuss the divergences and convergences in our experiences. In addition, I create landscape paintings as a way to both appreciate natural beauty and have a break from looking at my own face.

NShipula – Creative

/ , , , ,

NShipula—Creative is owned by Natalie Shipula. I have a degree in fine art from Youngstown State University. My inspiration is drawn from where I grew up and in all of my travels. As a United States Air Force Veteran, it took me some time to finally get on this path of becoming an artist but I finally made it here.

Being a Graphic Designer full time was my lifelong goal, however, I find my passion lies in painting and photography. While I mainly paint watercolors and they are usually on paper, I have been experimenting with some new surfaces. Today, you will find that along with framed pieces, I also have watercolors on wood and metal. 

Becoming an artist came with the knowledge that I create a lot of waste. While I am mindful of this, I try to use as much of my materials as possible. When the demand for framed art became apparent, I didn’t want my cost of supplies to raise the price of my art to levels that no one would be able to buy. For the framed pieces, I search for affordable vintage or recycled frames, I reuse mats if they are in good condition, and for my wooden or metal pieces, I search for items that could have another use. I do all my own framing, custom-cut all the mats, and fix/prep all other materials. I am as sustainable as I can be while creating pieces that range in size and price making it so everyone has the opportunity to purchase an original piece of art for their homes.

Large Vibrant Photography is the best way to describe my art. I am local to the Heights and have been an avid photographer for many years. My art is bright, colorful, saturated, and tac sharp as I control the entire process from taking the photo, developing, printing matting and framing. My pictures are often of local landmarks and I work to show them in new light and perspective through long exposures to encourage the viewer to continue getting closer and closer to discover more that they might see at first glance. I love travel, adventure, and artistic exploration and seek to share my journey with others.

Johnny Maloney

/ ,

Johnny Maloney was born in 1989, in Houston Texas. His creative life began studying filmmaking at the prestigious, Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, Australia. After graduating he worked as a freelance filmmaker creating a plethora of music clips, short films and corporate videos.

Always a deep lover and appreciator of art, it wasn’t until an ill fated skateboarding trip left Johnny bedridden, that he finally picked up his paint brushes. This new creative outlet was a revelation, and while stuck in Melbourne’s lockdowns, he began painting the world around him, ultimately selling a number of these works online.

He has since exhibited in several group shows, art fairs and a solo exhibition in Melbourne, before moving back to Houston at the beginning of 2023. Currently he is studying painting at the Glassell School of Art
