Who are some of the artists being featured?

Etty Horowitz creates shimmering sculptures of aluminum and wire filled with visual movement and hard-edged commentary.

Will Johnson’s sculptures from found materials provide moments of whimsy and serenity, often evoking archetypal American imagery.

Katie Maratta creates miniature black & white Texas road trip landscapes measuring 1” by 48”.

Terrie Meider’s hand-drawn mandalas are images of beauty, peace and harmony.

Kenney Mencher paints enigmatic neo-noir tableaux that call upon the viewer to create stories surrounding each character grouping. (in love after I read that his paintings were taken down in a San Francisco gallery for controversial reasons.)

Inki Min blends abstract expressionism, realism and whimsy to create a deeply affecting vision.

Skip Noah paints dreams and dreamscapes of startling beauty and cosmic otherness.

Jamie Pink creates dazzling abstract mosaic pieces that take you into a world on the other side of the mirror.

Andrew Wick’s paintings pose emotionally charged figures against dark rural Texas landscapes producing a cool, enigmatic effect.

Camille Woods creates hauntingly surreal Texas landscapes that capture the vastness and beauty of our state.

Dahlia Woods captures the world with her bountiful color palette, painting scenes of Dallas, around Texas, Mexico, Italy and wherever she travels.
