My work is painted and designed with many shapes and colors to express biblical stories and natural life in an abstract cubist style. My inspiration is not of this world. http://www.artistandy.com 713.291.7533
Acrylic landscapes and abstract paintings. I get my inspiration from nature and process it through all my feelings and emotions. The result is shown in my art work as a way to express myself. If any of my art will make anybody happy for a moment, my mission is accomplished.

Ellington paints in acrylic, with much water and sometimes sand. Her painting is in an impressionistic style with techniques that feel more like carving. “It has been said that painting is half-way between sculpting and drawing,” she says. “It is a wonderful experience.”

Amanda Armistead Pechacek
I am a multimedia artist focusing on the formal aspects of Art–line variation, texture, rhythm, color, space, etc. My original drawings, watercolor paintings, and other elements are encased within layers of mixed-mediums. The nature of the mediums dictate the compositions and ensure that no two are alike. They are created on custom made wood panels which eliminates the need for framing. www.amandaarmistead.com 281-796-7445

Mixed media painting * Joined the market in 2011
How has your art changed since joining First Saturday Arts Market?
When I started in May 2011 my sales were average. Now, in 2013, my sales have hit over 7 times what I made per market. Seasoned artists have been an example for me to follow.
About how often do you attend the market and how would you rate your level of experience now?
3-5 times a year Seasoned
Is there anything significant that happened to you as a result of participating at the market?
My art has developed. I have become more confident. I am setting higher goals for myself.
In May of 2011, First Saturday Arts Market became a Birthplace and Public Grand Opening for both me and my art. Each time I participate I observe a fascinating mixture of both novice and seasoned artists creating an appealing atmosphere for patrons. The 10 year success of the monthly outdoor fine arts event proves that something great is happening…both for the participation artists and the public who can’t seem to get enough.
Do you have any advice for new artists?
Watch, listen, learn, take notes, apply, ask Mitch, ask your tent neighbor, engage your patron, smile, return, and you will love it!!
