About the Artist

I feel good about photography and take pictures all the time. I like to make the pictures bigger, I see the faraway much better. When it is real big it makes a good photo. I take pictures of what I recognize, because it is really nice and I can keep it on my camera so I can see it at any time.

About the Artist

I was born in Boston, Massachusetts then moved to Tampa. After 32 years I moved to Houston, Texas and love it here! My favorite art form is photography. It is my number one, my thumbs up! I take pictures on my free time. I like taking pictures of things that make me happy!

About the Artist

I like painting because I get the opportunity to paint on a large surface. The ideas come to me in advance when I paint. I paint in a very systematic and orderly way. I am interested in the way that different colors are placed next to each other. I like to play with words, when coming up with titles for my artwork.

About the Artist

I am a Houston native. I love to watch videos on my iPad and listen to music. I especially likes Daftpunk. I have always loved art. Painting in particular. The messier the better! Growing up, I would paint on poster boards taped to the floor then adorn them with hand and foot prints in bright colors. My favorite colors are red and blue.
