Bio: After being a potter since 1975 in South Africa, where my fascination for clay began, I have finally switched from clay to working with glass. After immigrating to the United States in 1981, I continued my pottery as a hobby.

In March 2005 my hobby became my full-time profession. After experimenting with clay using various techniques for 27 years, I finally developed a unique style which I have been told reflected my South African. The use of texture and color became my signature.

I am a founding member of 18 Hands Gallery in Houston, Texas. My work has been shown at Archway Gallery in Houston and Copper Shade Tree in Roundtop, Texas. I am the current world record holder on the potter’s wheel by one person, as recorded by the Book of Alternative Records. This record was set at 18 Hands Gallery in Houston, Tx on the 26th January 2008, with a time of 18 hours and 3 minutes, breaking the previous record by one hour and three minutes.

Now it remains to be seen where my glass art will take me. As I am now 76 years young I do not have 27 years to experiment and only time will tell. The most important thing of all is that I am enjoying the glass work immensely.

All my pieces are one of a kind.

My name is Ashley Banfield. This is my junior year at Lamar High School.  Art is my number one passion. I have been drawing since elementary school. There were you-tubers I watched to draw cartoon animals in Junior High. We work with many different mediums in class. This includes acrylics, colored pencils, pastels, charcoal, pen and ink, and water colors. My favorite is water colors.  This summer a group of us along with my art teacher are going to Europe.  We will travel to Paris, Rome, and Italy. I cannot wait to see all of the things we have been studying in person. I am so excited.  My mother has always encouraged me to follow my dreams and not let others discourage me. She is giving me the chance to do just that this summer.

Bio:  My name is Clara Ines Toro – CARLOTA – and I was born in Colombia, South America. My passion for art started in the early years of my life. Even as a small child, I felt a connection between brush, color and canvas and my inner self. When I created images with these materials I felt that I was making something magical – a new form, a new window on reality. As I matured, I realized that my inspiration and focus came from forms, colors and lines and that the best way to express myself and represent my ideas and feelings was through painting.
By the time I finished high school, I focused all my energy and dedication on learning the trades of decoration combined with art. I explored different styles, ideas and artists. While doing so, I had the good fortune to be mentored by an accomplished and skillful Colombian painter, David Manzur. Through years of training, I discovered a passion for Abstract Art and a preference for using acrylics in my work, combined with oils as a resource of texture.
Creating new visual experience from the endless possible combinations of color, form and texture gives me both satisfaction and pleasure and expresses the profound link that I have with art.

Mona Ghazi is a self-taught abstract expressionist, who is half Egyptian and half Greek. She has been living in her adoptive city of Houston for the last 29 years. Mona received a Biology/Chemistry Degree from El Fateh University, Tripoli, Libya. However, painting was always a passion that flourished over the years.

Mona works primarily in acrylics and encaustic (a medium she is enamored with) but also occasionally incorporates other media, which allows an interplay of materials in her creations. Mona’s art has been exhibited Internationally in Dubai and locally here in Houston, in both juried and non-juried exhibitions. Her work is also in private and corporate collections in Norway, Egypt, and the USA.

Creating a piece of art is a formidably arduous, exalting, and liberating experience that Mona hopes her viewers will feel. If it moves them in any way, then it has served the purpose for which it was created.

I have always treasured my memories through my paintings. My art takes you to the places where you either visited or might like to. I always wonder about nature, its beauty and its different sheds of colors. Nature is the key to my paintings, I like to capture those moments wherever I visit and try to express through my painting.

I discover through my journey of my painting, learn new strokes, styles. It is a great experience painting with oil colors; get to explore new techniques every time. When I paint with a palette knife, it fills like I am spreading butter on my toast. Painting with a knife is exciting to experience; it finishes faster as well as gives nice textural effect on the painting. I also enjoyed painting with acrylic colors, which gives a nice feeling. I like to use acrylic colors for detailed work, like miniature paintings.

I have been interested in art all of my life. I believe I was inspired by a painting my Grandfather did of a sailing ship on Lake Michigan.

The first painting I remember doing was a large bowl of mixed flowers. I received a bachelor of Fine Art from the University of Houston.

I worked as a draftsman and had opportunities do do some art work during this period… I did watercolors off and on through the years.

Three years ago, I started again to paint watercolors and joined The Art League of Fort Bend and the Imperial Art Alliance. I have received numerous ribbons at Art Shows, and have sold some paintings. I strive to paint subjects that have special meaning to me and hopefully others will share this interest.
