Your Artists in San Antonio (cont'd)

Recently I visited a small college in northern Arkansas an in their lunchroom were several paintings I was drawn to. These paintings were done with alcohol ink. They had the look of watercolor but with vibrant colors. I was hooked! As in watercolor painting, the happy surprises lead me to creating varied artwork. Alcohol ink is adaptable to landscapes, abstract, and nature painting. I continue to experiment with this versatile media as well as returning to watercolors for variety and pure enjoyment of art. I spread my time between San Antonio and my little college in Rockport where I am inspired to paint and explore the arts.

Stephen Anson is an accomplished visual artist who was inducted into the Bob Marley Museum in Kingston, Jamaica in 2015. He is originally from New Orleans and now resides in San Antonio.  Anson is a self-taught artist.  His style is a mixed media 3-dimensional concept that he developed over 10 years ago, and he continues to add a new twist with each piece that he develops.  Growing up in a jazz family, his inspirations stem from the music and culture of New Orleans as well as the vibrant colors and culture in San Antonio.

Robert places more emphasis on compositional beauty than on hidden symbolism, and prefers to allow design, color and figure to tell the story of his paintings.

Robert says, “we are all one people; the sharp sense gives the artist the ability to observe and highlight the beauty of what we see.” Robert's artistic efforts allow him to appreciate human differences, his generosity and his desire to understand others.

For the past 20 years my work has dealt with the indigenous cultures of Mexico. People and places of the past are transformed into highly personal abstract works of art. Mayan gods, pyramids, jaguars, serpents and slaves can be found performing various rituals of the past. The viewer is invited to share worldly experiences.

I am a native of San Antonio and creativity has always been a passion of mine.  After years of working in the medical field and Interior Design, I began taking art classes.  I have been hooked ever since.  I love painting and also enjoy the comradery within our classes.  Art, for me, is learning, growing and experiencing new ways to express yourself.  What a great way to retire!

I have created art all my life in one medium or another. It’s important for me to not only create, but to continuously evolve and creatively express my feelings through my art. Whether I'm working in my studio painting, or creating with glass, my art is a piece of me that I put out to the world. My large abstract paintings are an emotion of music, life, and color. My abstracts in glass are a flow of colors that captures the movement of glass. 

I am a self-taught artist from San Antonio, Texas.  I venture through multiple styles and techniques over the course of time to tell a story.  I have not committed myself to a single theme or style as I believe my flexibility opens a world of limitless exploration for me. My background as a nurse has steered me in the direction of exploring the world of the human consciousness and how an individual perceives the harshness of the world.

A lifetime ago, my Grandfather discovered a raw talent in his Grandchild, put a pencil in my hand, and nurtured that talent. I've yet to surrender that pencil/brush. My credo: "I dream of painting, then, I paint my dream". My work aims to stir emotions within viewers utilizing bold color, design and subject matter. If I accomplish that, then I have succeeded. If a painting speaks to you, LISTEN... you have been CHOSEN. Rest assured it will bring you joy for years to come. It is my hope that some of my work transports you on a pleasant journey.

As a child of parents who were artists, I was blessed from a young age to be exposed to art in many of its forms. I credit my childhood to where I developed my own love and appreciation of art and to the artists who bring their visions forth. My inspirations have been primarily rooted in modern and abstract art with a love for color and fluidity. I have worked with a variety of mediums including charcoal, acrylics, and art resin of which I am self-taught in each. Working with resin has allowed me to expand on my creativity adding a depth and vibrancy that traditionally I would be unable to attain through traditional methods.

I have been shooting photographs for some 40 plus years and framing some for my own enjoyment. Upon retiring in 2015 after over three decades as Executive Director of the Texas Solar Energy Society and the Texas Renewable Energy Industries Association I finally had the time to show and share. The photographs are unique shots of the natural world and artifacts of human activity and habitation selected from my broader collection of images. I hope they offer a fresh view of common Texas scenes and take you off the beaten path to see a side of Texas you may not have experienced. While my focus is largely on Texas, some of my works are from other states and Mexico as well.

As Bob Ross once said, "I guess I'm a little weird".  My life as a military wife, mother of two teenagers, and worker of a stressful life-and-death type job gives little chance for me to openly share my strange and creative thoughts.  Art allows me the chance let loose and let the crazy show.  I've been working in various mediums for over 20 years and love to incorporate vintage items and images in my work. I never take my subjects too seriously and rarely have a "deeper meaning" in my pieces. I hope they make you smile.

After 35 years in Sales and Marketing, I was facing retirement with a lot of trepidation and not too happy with that “retirement age number” that goes along with that Social Security Check. On a whim, I signed up for an Art Class and I have never stopped learning. WOW! It was the greatest gift I ever gave myself! From that first class I have found a whole new lease on life, a creative side of me that I never knew existed, a great group of new friends, and a passion and purpose to get up every day and explore my world and put it on canvas. Now, 6 years later, that “retirement age number” only means that I am FREE to create the world I am excited to live in!

I’m not always successful in that approach, but it keeps the painting fun and interesting to me.
