My medium is a varied mix of tiny shells, scraps of paper, slivers of glass, thick gel mediums, crusted gouache additives, creamy acrylic and globs of oil paints, traces of watercolor and melted wax crayons combined with hardened enamels and carefully chosen 14kt gold flake.
Every piece is original and every creation is an unpredictable surprise! I create with a clear heart, no expectations. The materials combined together create a resist-like reaction and the results are different every time…..each piece is genuinely unique and original!
I’m passionate about living the artful life. I have a great appreciation for nature and animals,20% of all sales goes to S.N.A.P. (Spay and Neuter Assistance Program) for animals. I am also an active advocate for the “Adopt Don’t Shop!” movement which means finding forever homes for our homeless furry friends.

My paintings are based on direct observation. I take my French easel out into the city I call home, Houston TX. The subject matter, although always changing, is often the confluence of what I love about Houston; it’s buildings, bayous, highways, tree-lined streets and lush parks and gardens. I hope you can see the beauty of Houston in my Urban Landscapes. 713-305-6626 https://deatlyart.net@deatlyarthur

Even though I’m from Houston I received my BFA from Kansas City Art Institute. I was influenced by a professor that said art started and ended with Cezanne. My style is based on the plein air approach of painting from direct observation much like Cezanne approached his subject matter. I go out every week and paint the city I live in, It is my honest response to what I call the Beautiful Ugly that is Houston a place built in a swampy mosquito-infested marshland designed based more on greed happen chance than esthetics. Highway byways bayous and buildings.
Light and texture studies. My subject matter is abstracted from the garden and other immediate surroundings, usually but not limited to botanicals.
MARY G. WILKINSON, Painter/Printmaker, prefers abstracting subject matter from her garden and other immediate surroundings, usually but not limited to botanicals. Quite simply, her works are nothing more or less than light studies. She continues to find the playfulness of light and shadow, its revelations and obscurities of various textures and form, both fascinating and engaging. Her palette and its intensity are dictated by the former, her vantage often myopic as she enjoys visually crawling in and around her subject.
Upon obtaining her BFA from the University of North Texas , Mary elected to return to her home in Houston where she currently works, living with her mother and her beloved dog and cat.
Other interests include gardening and learning to play the piano.
Each work of art begins with the glass. When I see a piece of glass, it inspires me to create a certain subject. From that inspiration, I find other glass to compliment it . Once all the pieces are collected, I develop a design, then I really go to work. Each piece of glass is carefully hand cut and the edges are prepared to attach it to the copper. Once the glass is in place the background is decoratively soldered to create a texture that enhances the glass. Then all the metal work is finished in a copper patina.
My passion is and will always be art. I believe everyone should have some form of art in their lives. Whether you create it, collect it or just go out and appreciate it. www.debwightstudios.com
Yes, It’s paper! My collage process begins when I paint and texture paper of all kinds to create my “palette.” At any given time I have over 1,000 sheets of painted paper in every hue. Papers will include sheet music, sandwich wrappers, dictionary pages, etc. The paper is torn by hand and placed individually. Take a closer look. You might find a piece of poetry or a technical drawing hiding in plain sight. www.LisaMoralesMixedMedia.com 713-240-1227
