Ans Carnes

  

Ans likes to capture the life, character and spirit of her wildlife models by combining detailed realism with bold brushstrokes. She takes advantage of the rich viscosity of high quality oils and alla prima techniques as well as glazing and layering. Art to her is a gift given to steward and develop, learned skills intermingled with intuition and faith, a true calling. 

‘I’m thrilled to be allowed to pursue the creation of paintings that are positive and full of energy! They mirror what I love to observe and immerse myself into. For example I’m fascinated by hummingbirds because they’re so unique: they’re tiny, shiny and elegant, at the same time they have a lot of attitude. This combination makes them great models. The same is true for horses with their gentle eyes and elegance, as well as raw strength and power. What an exciting challenge to capture those attributes on canvas! And how rewarding to see these paintings ultimately on the wall of a home, changing a room.’

June Malone

Glenn lived abroad from 2008 to 2015, traveling extensively and taking photos. He returned home in 2015 to roll the dice as a full-time photographer. Since then, he's split his time traveling the country to participate in art shows - it's gone better than anyone could have dreamed! - and taking photos domestically and abroad. His objective is to create classic, realistic images that stand the test of time. He specializes in large images and panoramas, in sizes up to 6 by 24 feet, and small edition numbers.  www.glennlewisphotography.com

Steven Cromer

 Stephen Cromer is a fine art landscape photographer specializing in digital medium format photography. With a decade-long background as a soil scientist, he developed a deep understanding of remote landscapes, which informs his unique photographic perspective. His work captures the subtle beauty and complexity of natural environments.

Kimberly Reed

Kimberly's work combines hand worked metal, hand sandblasting, hand painting and traditional leaded glass. Completely hand made from scratch, work combines multistage sandblasting, hand worked metal, and hand painting.

George Jones (The Painter)

George H. Jones began his career as an artist at a very early age with graphite renderings and painting in watercolors but soon progressed to oils, a medium he has adopted for the last 25 years. Jones, a Texas native and longtime Dallas resident, is one of a limited number of established artists whose body of work captivates the attention of private and public collectors across the country. Working in large format, Jones’ paintings invoke eccentricity through the use of impressionist shapes and color.  https://www.georgejonesart.com/

Sydney Gruber

Sydney Gruber looks to capture an incandescent pulse of life in color and connect with a world of raw energy. She makes focal point paintings and has developed a line of internationally selling chess sets. Moving through her like harnessed electricity, Sydney intuitively layers and textures color, often kisses paintings with gold leaf, and then levels her work in an elite coat of gloss resin for an elevated contemporary look. In life, she strives to match reason with passion and collect the nectar. With the soul of a truck driver, she paints on the road as a professional roadrunner in her traveling showroom when she’s not in her Austin studio. In this modern art renaissance, this is Sydney’s celebration of life.

Douglas Wodark

Jeff DeMent creates each of his pieces by hand using a traditional Diné (Navajo) technique known as Tufa Casting, a method that dates back over 200 years to the 1800s. His original designs are meticulously carved into tuff, a compressed volcanic ash commonly referred to as Tufa Rock, to form a mold. Once the mold is heated, molten silver is poured into it to shape the piece.

After the casting process, the silver is annealed, hand-cut, filed, and formed. High-grade, natural turquoise is then carefully inlaid into a bezel setting. Each Tufa mold is used only once, ensuring that every piece Jeff creates is truly one of a kind.

Tina Hoffer

Marilyn Quigley

“Distinguished Excellence“ category award winner! "Elemental Materials"

Tina Hoffer is a unique woodworker by blending two of natures alluring elements; wood and stone. Tina  creates functional, culinary accessories with her Cutting Boards, Gathering  Boards, Serving Platters and Dipping Trays that will elevate your daily or  special occasions. 

Tina meticulously searches through  arborists’ wood lots looking for the perfectly flawed, cracked and knot  filled hardwoods that other woodworkers pass by because of these  deficits. She chooses smaller pieces of wood that will be enhanced with  Stone like turquoise, lapis, malachite or chrysocolla, and inlays these  into the cracks and voids. She follows the Kintsugi method of Japanese art , where broken and fractured pottery is mended with gold  or silver dust, there by restoring the fragments to a functional and more  beautiful piece.
