I love making art and teaching others. My philosophy in regards to art is that it’s about the process, not the product. I believe God made us in His image which also means that we are creative beings. I believe that everyone can create something. beautiful.
Examples of my art:

As a self-taught artist, I started oil painting in 2019, transitioning from a background in science to pursue art. My work focuses on capturing serene, sensitive, nostalgia and sometimes surreal moments, projecting the vivid visions of my mind onto the canvas.

How to Use Color to Silently Impact Your World
“You can sell anything in a yellow box,” is an old advertising notion that General Mills has certainly certainly found to be true for Cheerios cereal since 1941. And remember when yellow Post-It Notes started popping up everywhere? Yellow is considered most visible for traffic signs.
Long before she picked up a paintbrush, Chris Rogers began working with color as a graphic designer of company brochures, magazine ads, and other promotional materials. Later, as an avid amateur photographer, she sought out color in nature from sunrise to moonrise. And still later, as an instructor in mystery writing, she encouraged students to use color and texture liberally to draw readers into their stories.
Color, Rogers believes, speaks its own language. We listen with our eyes and our hearts, and it has been speaking to us for a very long time. Join us at our April meeting to hear from Chris. In this presentation, she will take us from the primaries to the neutrals by revealing what psychologists and other authorities can tell us about the how and why of color impact.

Kudos Charlotte Zimmermann
Charlotte Zimmermann’s piece titled “Libelle” won first place on our 2022 Judged Show’s Student Division.
Here is how she responded when asked about her art and being and artist.
“I entered a paper cut piece of a dragon fly that I named “Libelle.” It is by far my favorite piece I’ve made/entered. I started taking art classes this year, so I’ve only been an artist for a year. My art teacher Mrs Glass helped me to develop a love for art and her work has definitely influenced me the most. Having her as a teacher and role model has been an amazing experience and I will forever be grateful. My art is inspired by things I see and hear. For example, Libelle had several details around it resembling fire, pearls, and leaves. Overall, the most rewarding part of becoming an artist has been getting to create things people will enjoy. “
Let’s Get to Know Gigi Sill Killough
Gigi’s entry, “White Crackle Raku Bowl” won first place in the Non-professional Division in our 2022 spring show. When asked about herself and her pursuit of art, Gigi responded with the following:
“Although I graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in secondary education, I have been an artist all my life. As a young girl, I grew up doing many different arts and crafts with my mother, Lilly. All throughout my life, there has been one constant: art. Art makes me happy, and I love it when one of my pieces means enough to someone that they want to have it in their home.
I have worked in stained glass, tole painting, mosaics, beaded jewelry, pottery and lately watercolor. Nature’s vivid colors and textures inspire my work and I try to incorporate them into my art much like my favorite artist Vincent van Gogh. I wish I could paint like him!
My favorite piece among my entries is the double carved pottery bowl because it was challenging and incorporated two skills, throwing and carving.”
