Hard to believe it is almost Thanksgiving. How time flies! In this blog post I'll try to hit some of the ART highlights in my studio and all around the area for the last couple of months. Here we go!
On the first rainy Saturday after a very long drought, I drove out to visit my old stomping grounds in Houston, TX. First stop: The Silos at Sawyer Yards. I visited multiple studios and viewed literally THOUSANDS of artworks. I've posted a few below in no particular order and included links to photos and QR codes where possible. I would love to write about each studio and give more time to each artist. But, due to the sheer volume of artworks, I'm not able to do that this time.
I highly recommend that you visit The Silos at Sawyer Yards for yourself and plan to spend an entire day.

In addition to visiting galleries and artists' studios, I have been busily working on some new projects - some on paper, some on glass. I haven't worked on the second medium for decades, so I thought I'd make a stencil for one project, but I liked it so much that I colored it in and framed it instead! Check out how this piece progressed step-by-step below. The frame for this artwork is really cool. It can stand freely on a mantle or table and can also be hung on a wall. It looks MUCH better in person, so go check it out at The Madeley Fine Art Gallery. It will be on view until Saturday, December 2, 2023 (unless someone purchases it before the end of the exhibition).
On the first Friday of every month, the Conroe Art League hosts Artists in Action from 4 - 7:00p. at The Madeley Fine Art Gallery in Conroe, TX. On one particular Friday night in October, yours truly and several other members of the Conroe Art League created our artworks LIVE for visitors to the gallery. (See photos below.)
If you'd like to come and chat with me while I work on artwork or bring along extra creations for a Mini Show, I am up at the gallery two or three times a month. This is my November schedule:
Saturday, November 18 / 1:30p. - 4:00p.
Saturday, November 25 / 1:30p. - 4:00p.
October 21st saw Conroe Art League alum, Jeff Lung, showcasing his art at The Woodlands Pride Fest. I was busy working a booth for Unity of The Woodlands with fellow church members at the fest. We were creating a different kind of art: Face Painting and Glitter Tattoos! We also handed out bracelets and HUGS. It was a great day of fun. If you missed it, you'll have to check it out next year. Lots of booths and fun things to do for absolutely everyone! (See photos below.)
Gosh, so much to say about art this fall, but there's just not room for all of it here. At least I can show you a few more artworks I completed. These were created using Sharpie Markers, colored pencils, gel pens and Sharpie oil paint pens. Joy Vortex is on paper, the other two on cardstock.

Before I go, you'll want to know about the very BEST place to find artisan goods and artworks for holiday gift giving. Tuesday, November 14th sees the opening of the Fine Arts & Crafts Market at The Madeley Fine Art Gallery which runs through Saturday the 18th. Twelve artists (including myself) will have everything from Christmas ornaments to fine jewelry available. Prices start as low as 10.00 and go up. Shopping local has never been this much fun!
Happy Holidays Everyone!!!
