Contemporary design pieces derived from nature.

Hand crafted wooden bird houses; designed to benefit the mission of Nicole’s House by Steward Pollard

I am a mixed media artist, watercolor, acrylic, ink, pencil, paper and fibers come together in artwork from my heart to lift the heart of others

Portraits are not the choice of most artist. It’s a different animal. It demands observation that exceeds that of doing landscapes, and still lifes. There is also the emotional issues that have to be dealt with, whether of the artist, or the client.

Multi-media artist specializing in bold abstract art

I use mixed media in my work. I like to draw with watercolor pencils and colored pencils, then paint with watercolor paint. After that I add acrylic paint and acrylic medium for texture. I usually finish with a high gloss archival varnish. Additionally, I offer 4 X 6 prints in 5 X 7 matted notecards of my paintings. I will be selling, and signing, my book “Minou The Enchanted Bayou Cat” as well.

I am a ceramic artist living in Northwest Arkansas. I have an at home studio and gallery.

My pieces start from something found or noticed. I see an object, an ordinary thing, with its intended form and purpose, and I see it in colors and patterns. I see the abstract in the mundane. Alcohol markers form the base of color. Multiple layers of Prismacolor pencils are layered on to add saturation and texture. The colors are then burnished with a Dremel and cotton discs or cloth or even rubbed with paper, adding shine and depth to the layers. Different tools can create everything from a soft hue to a shiny, leathery texture. This creation process is as much a sensory one as it is a visual one.

Contemporary, minimalist art with an emphasis on three dimensional textures, abstract shapes, and neutral monochromatic tones.
