The two most important things in my life are God and family. Having faith and love captures the beauty of life around us. Family is a special gift from God. It is who we are and where we came from. Nature captures the essence of creation of beauty, of the landscapes, and for every blossom there is hope, peace, and love. I have a Bachelor's degree in Art from the University of Texas, San Antonio. I enjoy creating styles slightly derived from the Flemish and Victorian era of paintings. In the Flemish style, vibrant, localized colors are emphasized. In the Victorian style, the accent and harmony of colors as well as the way the subjects are positioned on the canvas are clearly seen on many of my floral and still life paintings.

My paintings are inspired by the thought that all the world is abstract. I believe that what I understand about the world around me is minimal. Look closer at something considered “common” and a verdant trove of fresh discovery is waiting. I think of my paintings as my personal rebellion against the trap of being lethargic and bored in a world as boundlessly beautiful as ours.

My biggest inspiration in life and in art is my mother who taught me about painting from a young age and influenced me to explore creative outlets as a way to express myself. After losing my mother at 18, I leaned into painting to handle the weight of her loss, but despite this, I try to project the vibrancy and beauty of nature and life through my art.

I discovered art many years ago in the galleries of Santa Fe, New Mexico. I fell in love with the bold Expressionist work by artists such as John Nieto. After years of emulating these artists, I’m now ready to tell my own tale, starting with my Texan heritage, a rock-n-roll counterculture sensibility, and an evolving social awareness. I hope to communicate visually what doesn’t easily communicate verbally. As Georgia O’Keefe said, "I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way... things I had no words for.”

Born in Mexico, moved to California, and now in beautiful San Antonio, Texas. I see myself as a self-taught artist that has been painting for the last 5 years and enjoy every second of it. Influenced by my Mexican culture, heritage, and passion for good wine, every stroke of my brush is a representation for inspiration. Painting is a way to get lost within my own self.

During high school, he enjoyed the SaySí art program where he explored creating art in different mediums including graphite, charcoal, aluminum, paper maché, papel picado, and others.

Taylor S. Monroe is a contemporary artist currently residing in San Antonio, Texas where he has lived since 2009. Before moving to Texas, he lived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as well as his hometown of Ithaca, New York. He also lived and exhibited in New York City where he found many artistic opportunities. Monroe graduated in 2018 from Texas State University with his Bachelor’s degree; during his time as a student, he began pursuing his career as a freelance artist and musician. He had his first gallery display in San Marcos, Texas, and from there, his work was published in his university’s art magazine, Persona. He was then offered his first solo show in San Antonio at the Weston Centre in early 2019. Following the success of this show, his work was chosen by the Montclair Art Museum in New Jersey for their annual auction, Art Uncorked. In August 2021, his digital art was chosen to be included in an upcoming coloring book project for social media entrepreneur, Fashionlush. In addition, he also regularly works on commission pieces for private clients and exhibits in venues across San Antonio.
“Seven years ago, I found my passion for painting when my fiancée gave me a wooden easel, a canvas, and a set of acrylic paints. As a musician, I had been aware of my synesthesia, but when I started painting, I was able to put brush to canvas and create a representation of what it brought to life inside my head. When I start a new piece, I choose a specific song, artist, or genre to listen to while I work, and I allow the music to guide my vision for each piece. My synesthesia dictates the colors and patterns within each painting. I paint on a vast range of canvas sizes, and I work with a multitude of tools to create textures and layers of impasto. I also work with other mediums including digital art, photography, and charcoal.”

OHSO
Ohso is a self-taught, mixed media artist born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. Although her family history is riddled with poverty, abuse, addiction, estrangement, and transitional homelessness, her work often repeats the themes of peace, beauty, strength, and growth through wisdom. Ohso primarily paints imaginative portraits of Women of Color, with "Living Waters" as a prominent, recurring Biblical metaphor. As a mixed media artist, she enjoys incorporating acrylics, airbrush, celluclay, inks, pastels, fabric paints, and block stamp printing in her work. Ohso attended the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (N.O.C.C.A.). She also studied psychology and fine art at Delgado Community College in New Orleans, LA. Ohso later graduated with a degree in Computer Graphic Design from Southeast College of Technology in Metairie, Louisiana and was inducted into the Alpha Beta Kappa National Honor Society in 1999.
Although she gained valuable skills while at N.O.C.C.A., Ohso found herself in limbo and considered her art more of a hobby until 1996 when she had her first gallery experience where she met other contemporary artists. “They were talented, Black, Indigenous People of Color who I didn't even know existed, and my mind was blown! They looked like me; I could make connections and even got some guidance from them, and it was then I decided to make art my profession!” Over the next few years, Ohso worked in retail sales and management. In her spare time, she took on an internship at The Neighborhood Gallery under the guidance and support of the owners, Sandra Berry and Joshua Walker, while functioning as a Freelance Art Educator and Graphic Designer.
In the Spring of 2005, Ohso founded ArtistiKIDS - an arts program for gifted children! Sadly, later that same year, Hurricane Katrina destroyed her home and business, forcing her family to relocate to Texas.
For over 15 years, Ohso has worked in the field of education, teaching visual arts, stop-motion animation, graphic design, and martial arts in public schools, private schools, and non-profit organizations including Remington College, YAYA Inc., My House Inc., Young Audiences, NEISD, Qkids, and SayABC. Today, Ohso is a full-time artist, entrepreneur, ESL contractor, published poet, and co-owner of Peace Keeper Martial Arts Academy with her husband in San Antonio, Texas.

Shari’s passion for art stems from her life experience. Her work is abstract and figuritive. Each piece tells a unique story. Every stroke is filled with intuition, passion, and purpose. She uses bold elements to drive each narrative. Black and white hues are used to add balance and flow. Even though her work is abstract, certain facial features are painted realistic to draw attention. Symbolism is how she creates her story. This allows the viewer dig deeper within themselves to relate. She continues to create one of a kind pieces and hopes to inspire others to follow their soul purpose.
