Hannah Bladh
I believe that the right painting in the right place can turn your day around for the better. In my art I like to romanticize ordinary places and things. I have an ability to see the beauty all around me-even filling up at the gas station, loading my car in the Walmart parking lot, or making breakfast. I try to focus on the joyful and beautiful moments in everyday life. With my art, I help others slow down and remember the good things they have right now in this moment.
I paint usually with oil, and occasionally acrylic.
Najia Omer
Najia Omer’s mixed media paintings draw profound inspiration from her cultural roots, having grown up in Pakistan. Infusing her canvases with gold-thread stitching, she intricately portrays women as origami birds in her artwork. These visual narratives become a reflection of aspirations and the pursuit of dreams, creating a unique tapestry that beautifully weaves together culture and personal journey.
Aimee Kudla
Aimee’s Handcrafts
My name is Karina “Aimee” Kudla. Since 2016, ceramics has been my passion, sparked by hand-building classes at a community center. I love crafting unique pieces inspired by nature—mountains, birds, flowers, and fruits—using various techniques. Ceramics reflects who I am and how I see the world.
I run a studio in Old Katy, TX, where I teach pottery and sell handmade works. I’m active in local markets and on social media, sharing my love for the craft. I work with mid-fire white, red, and black clays, experimenting with glazes to create consistent, harmonious finishes.
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.
