Carmen Canann . CarmenCanCreate Painting, photographs, plants My artistic influences sprang from living in California, Hawaii, and Texas, and by trips to Mexico where I acquired a fascination for bright colors, tropical plants, and tiles. My grandfather had an art studio behind his turquoise stucco house in Santa Monica where cousins and I played with flower petals and painted pictures. Now I work with paint, photography, and plants from my own art studio looking out onto the garden behind our house in Austin.

I work with a multitude of techniques and materials with found objects that result to mixed media painting, sculpture, installation, video, photography, sound, and performance.

Cliona Gunter Painting, collage, mechanical assemblies I try not to control how I work. I enjoy exploring ideas and materials. Often pieces are influenced by strong emotions or a discovery about a relationship situation I am becoming aware of. Some pieces come from a funny idea or phrase that popped into my head. Some pieces come from dreams. Some pieces come from things I found on the side of the road. I paint every morning and then go to my paid work.

Oil painting, mixed media I paint portraits to show the wisdom gained from adversity and loss – or to foreshadow challenges yet to come – and the grace such experience bestows to others. Influenced by Eastern European iconography and Renaissance techniques, I use multiple layers of colored glazes to create a depth of skin tone and field, as if the people are speaking to us from another dimension.

Jewelry Art moves me, ignites an emotional reaction. When I finish a piece, I feel complete. I fabricate the sheet silver, cut and polish the gemstones. Creation is a triumph of balance. Too little heat will not forge a connection. Too much will melt the silver. The spiritual effect of stones is well documented. Many of my pieces include turquoise because it feels right to me. Each piece is different, just as all of us are different. That’s art. 1819 Piedmont Ave . (512) 913-3555 . rhodesm1@swbell.net

So far I’ve completed American Gothic, Andy Warhol, Marylin Monroe, the 4 Ballerinas from Swan Lake and Marylin Monroe on the subway vent from “The Seven Year Itch”. I am currently working on the inside cover of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. I also added 3 new tree paintings to my already big collection.

11 ARTISTS & STUDIOS CRESTVIEW
Painting The sometimes violent, sometimes serene unknotting of memory, idea, experience - conscious or unconscious - urges me to paint. Color, form, and movement presuppose composition. I am led internally to create externally. I’m fascinated by the center, the beingness, the unfolding of the core, and how best to express that in painting. Also on display will be some of my sculptural works in clay.

Melanie Hickerson Painting, drawing Ms. Hickerson’s imagery expresses an internal reality in this world of illusions. The bucolic settings, colorful portraits, or other standard fare are decorated with visual touches of something else. Ms. Hickerson’s imagery has expressed the arc of the female aspect in art, the earth, environment, and spirituality. But my paintings are paintings FIRST. They are form and color.

Laura Latimer Mixed media, sculpture, photography Grounded in a background of public and gallery installation work using unconventional materials, Laura’s small-scale pieces continue to explore the interaction of form with space through mixed media practices. Layers, light, and pattern are the basic elements used to express both narrative and conceptual subject matter. Energy and matter meld into elemental forms of a personal language of artistic communication.

14b ARTISTS & STUDIOS ALLANDALE
Mixed media, painting, printmaking Emilio Villarruel uses the multiple techniques of printmaking, image transfer, collage, painting, and drawing to create visual opinions of our popular culture – both past and present. Bold, abstract imagery often disguises underlying social criticism. These interpretations of events, which he feels are essential for us to remember, serve as his “offspring” or a legacy of visual bookmarks in the pages of history.

Amanda Yopp
16a ARTISTS & STUDIOS ALLANDALE
Acrylic paintings, prints, pottery I’ve always been interested in systems: interdependent parts working together to create a whole. A system has structure and behavior, and it tells a story. It might be the relationship between two people or the inner workings of a family. In my latest work, a series on machines, I am taking a more literal approach. Just like a family, some of my machines are playful but nonsensical. Some are dangerous. And some are broken and useless. 6901 Shoal Creek Blvd . amandayopp.com

Drawing My work represents my pursuit of a holistic type of knowledge, composed of the complimentary truths of science, art, poetry, mathematics, and philosophy. I translate informational images (like maps, diagrams and scientific documentation) by hand to transform the conventionally factual source into a more poetic, abstract, open statement about the world around us.

Cecelia Phillips Evans . guest of Bethany Johnson Painting, drawing Several months ago I met a woman who was straightening my hair. It happened to be her birthday, and she was going hunting for geodes to celebrate. No shit, I said. I’ll make you a geode painting as a present. As I began to explore the subject matter of a geode, I realized that they embody a lot of who I am and what I believe in artistically-a little bit of kitsch, a smidge of bling, a little crusty on the outside and gleaming from within.

Photography, digital art The camera lens is an eye that sees what evades everyday consciousness and offers a vision of what might be or could have been. Roy’s work combines textures of overlooked urban structures, uncovered street art, studies of human character, and abstracted reality. In this celebration of the richness of human experience, we see and feel the intensity of the everyday and access the potential of the seemingly mundane. 1704 Justin Ln, #B . roy@controlimages.com . controlimages.com

Sonya Berg Photography, painting My recent work is a combination of photographs and paint to create alluring but disruptive visual space. I remove the context of my snapshots to create abstracted windows of color and space. I look to create visual splits, juxtaposing depth and flatness, and recognizable space and abstraction. Through tactile contrast of surface and sheen, I look to invoke curiosity and confusion in the physical manipulation of the reference image.

As they look at my work, I love that moment when their eyes light up, and I know that they understand. It is in that instant, when they are lost in their own private thoughts and emotions creating a memory, that I know we will share a connection forever. What better legacy is there for an artist?

Clay A statement concerning my art..... Is there one? It is about the process of creating a form that speaks to me whether it is pinching a bowl or sculpting a human form. Once I start to manipulate the clay, ideas come and the form evolves.

Christopher Owen . guest of Patricia Meheriuk Photography My images depict the detritus of life and the aging of objects. I focus on forgotten houses and signs, old toys, dead trees, and discarded items. My prints are created through a process of Photoshop assemblage which are then affixed to a board and textured with acrylic mediums. This transforms the usual photographic print into a piece with the appearance of a painting but the content of a fantasy.

I use ink and water colors in an attempts to capture the feeling from these moments. I have been inspired by Dr. Seuss and his wonderful world. Here is a glimps in to my world. I hope you enjoy.

Padaric Kolander Oil, acrylic, charcoal, pen, ink I’m drawn to the human figure, and while some examples of my work resemble portraits, there is rarely a specific person I am depicting. Open-ended themes of ignorance, contradiction, sarcasm and cynicism run through my work. These themes are the true subjects.

Tim High . Terra Rosa Studio Drawing, printmaking, painting, mixed media sculpture Great art requires far more from its maker than an orderly catalog of visual facts, be they real or imagined, but instead is borne out of an articulate and impassioned conversation between the eye, the intellect, and the heart. Though I am an avid believer in subtlety, elusivity, and nuance, I prefer art to be decisively clear about what it has to impart to me. I have always preferred not to dive head first into muddy water.

Mixed media, painting My artistic process is a cathartic one. It’s a way for me to cleanse myself of anxiety, let my imagination run wild, play with possibility, renew my spiritual ideals, explore relationships, and gain insight into my own unconscious drives, fears, and impulses. I lose myself in the process; I find myself, again and again, in the product.

Chris Evans at Austin Public Library - Yarborough Photography I am interested in the ethical implications of photographic portraiture. We are always looking at each other, it is part of who we are. However, this process of looking becomes questionable with the introduction of a camera. The implication of the interaction is inevitably changed: the moment is captured, made permanent, and infinitely reproducible.

Painting The trees around Austin inspire my most recent series. I see each tree as having a distinct personality, which informs the composition and color choices. The works are done in acrylic on panel. I paint in thin layers and use found objects (e.g. cloth, combs, sticks) to lift out or scratch in patterns. The images have a gauzy translucency that feels a bit like watercolor while the palate, in contrast, is jarringly bright and saturated. 4104 Avenue H .

Chalda Maloff . guest of Denise Fulton Digital painting My art reflects my abiding optimism and faith in the order of our world. I work shapes and colors towards an expressive whole that will have the power to evoke emotion, sensuality, and spirituality. I employ the suggestion of backlighting or inner glow, which I believe elicits a near-universal response of warmth and gratification. My artist’s lexicon of transparency, juxtaposition, and spacial ambiguity poses a bid for viewer involvement.

Ryan Lucier . guest of Nancy Germond Ceramics I use the pot as a vehicle to talk about the human experience. My work illustrates how something might be vulnerable and mortal despite being highly engineered and organized. I choose methods of working in clay that combine and compare a sense of soft, hard, strong, well built, fragile and weak. I am curious about what happens when these ideas overlap. While working I am always considering bringing a sense of life to each piece.

Oil, ceramics After years of ceramics, I developed an interest in painting to learn to decorate and enhance my pottery. This led to a search for a minimalist style that would convey as much as possible of shape, form, color with a few strokes. I found my muse in plein air with a limited palette and the constraints of time, daylight, and shadow. My style is impressionistic and takes its subject from still life, landscape, and live models. 1507-C Woodlawn Blvd . (512) 784-1024 . mbuls@bulshodge.com . escapeartiststudio.org

Beth Fowler . guest of Mike Buls India ink, charcoal, drawing, painting, photography Beth loves black and white. It grabs her attention and sucks her in. From the darkest dark to the palest pale, she follows the light, knowing that without it, there would be nothing—no contrast, no shadow, no line, no shape, no form, no texture, no color. Her exploration of black and white brings to mind the phrase “opposites attract.” Perhaps a paradox draws her, forever grateful, to the light that lets her see.

Fused glass and painting are the mediums that allow me to enjoy this quest. I study each new work by stepping back and relaxing into the questions that color and light present, and when the answers come, I paint. I find the more I loosen my grasp for what I seek, the more it finds me.

I strive to create moments in time with feeling and humor (stiff cats, pointed heads or slightly absurd events). I also do pet portraits and commissions. I can’t wait to see the wonderful people I’ve met during the last two EAST tours and hopefully find some new friends and clients. Please come visit me! 1709 Palma Plaza .

Kate Csillagi . The Roost Painting, found object assembly I am captivated by the internal narratives we carry around on our backs and in our guts. Our collective stories, braided and knotted together, compose a lively and complex backdrop. Through found object sculpture and watercolor exploration, my latest work focuses on consumption, emotional jungles, and the holographic universe.

Jewelry My latest line of jewelry, Bee Amour, is inspired by the shapes, textures, colors and energy that I see every time I inspect my bee hive. Beekeeping is a craft that I have been learning over the past 3 years which has become something of an obsession that now translates into my work as a designer. I aim to create elegant and unique jewelry that is both well made and comfortable to wear.

David Mercado at Zocalo Mixed media, painting With series that focus on the beauty, strength, and movement of hummingbirds as well as bold, vibrant, and contemporary landscapes, David’s work is vivid and unique. It’s the striking imagery of his “Guadalupe” series, however, that gives a profoundly intimate glimpse into the faith and heritage which have inspired him. The series reveals an incredible transformation of traditional, iconic imagery into complex, abstract and contemporary pieces.

Carol Hayman Photography, prints I take an anthropological approach to photography. My subjects are people and landscapes in many parts of the world and include globalization and its effects on their lives. I turn my photographs into fine art prints by making them into etchings using solar plates and an intaglio press. The work is inherently ambiguous with a mysterious quality. Turning photographs into fine art prints is a laborious but satisfying printmaking process.

Painting My art emerges in a dark room on a huge glass table, underlit by soft light. Dreams make powerful pictures of a woman on adventures with her dog companions. The negative space is as alluring as the positive. On thin translucent cloth, the image is fleshed out with terracotta washes and markers. The muted colors enhance the inner world depicted. My goal is to capture attention by a space that becomes a doorway to a meditative state. 1001 Eason St . (512) 477-3099 . btimko@aol.com

Brandon White . guest of Carol Hayman Painting This alternative reading of the land becomes a bizarre projection of a post-apocalyptic future-scape as the works imagine a recovery from a nuclear blast. Sea monsters, black holes, and time machines create a dialogue that streams into a central gravitational vortex. It’s always a journey through time and space in this world out there.

Phillip Wade Oil, acrylic on canvas All I ever wanted as a teenager prowling the Metropolitan Museum or as an art student in Philadelphia and the U of Texas was to have all day to paint. So now there are glorious days painting portraits or nude models or Mr. Toad in the Wind and the Willows or whatever, and then there are the drudgery days of no progress; I have no complaints.

Combined media The direction of my work has evolved over several decades and has included many aspects of drawing, painting, and combined media. I have a profound interest in the process of creating beauty from retrieved objects, both natural and human made. The categorization of objects in new kinds of taxonomy creates a narrative for artistic pursuit and art audience.

Valerie Walden at Capital Fine Art Oil, pastel My paintings are representational rather than literal. That means a realistic but stylized ideology of a scene that evokes a mood at a particular moment in time. I strive to interpret the inherent vitality of nature. The tactile application of pastels allows an intimate involvement in the work, which I hope contributes to the sentiment a viewer experiences. My oil paintings are more tonal and reflect quieter, more harmonious moments.

Oil painting Cloudless skies. Intense sun. Extraordinary heat. This is the Texas where I live and the home of cowboys, horses and cows. I am drawn to the details of today’s working cowboys and the livestock they manage. I travel to local ranches and small rodeos for inspiration. Bold graphic colors speak to me in depicting the modern cowboys and their everyday lives.

Whether a conceptual, personal, or process-based investigation, the works elicit an awareness of our incompleteness and shared state of perpetual want. They suggest that states of loss or longing are worth savoring as they reveal bittersweet truths that help us better understand ourselves and our world.

Fused glass, mixed media Often I just spend some time looking at my material until the idea works its way out to the surface - glass inspires me. Whether recycled or art glass, the process of transformation into the final piece is often technically and intellectually challenging - and sometimes just playful.

W. Tucker Mixed media My work, whether constructed, painted or collaged comes from an intuitive process – it is unplanned, there is no vision of the end in mind. I work predominantly with my non-dominant hand. Simply put, this gets me “out of my head” and allows me to draw/paint in an unpracticed manner. And brings the work a step closer to something unadulterated by the thinking mind.

Painting I began painting as young as 5 years old. With my work, I vividly portray the power and emotion in objects of nature through a contemporary style of my own. Earth is beautiful. I celebrate her. I’m inspired to interpret her with my own eyes and I share what I see.

Mixed media I enjoy creating characters, spinning narratives and referencing myths. My process involves adhering fabric, paper and paint to wood panels, then sanding through the layers to reveal colors and textures. Dream imagery and memories often surface; they collide with the original narrative and create new meaning. This discovery is what continues to fascinate me each time I pick up a paintbrush.

Derek Mulch . Green Summit Studio at Audio Zeal Custom furniture, lighting, sculpture I find my balance by pairing fine wooden furniture with rough wood strip sculpture. My furniture pieces are well planned, tightly fit and finished. My sculpture is the opposite. By lacking tightly fit joinery and finish, they evolve as they are built. With my sculpture I have embraced what some would consider flaws, and instead of hiding them, I illuminate them with light exposing their inner beauty.

If the art evokes a response from the viewer, it’s likely to be one from personal experience - a time of day or special occasion. Once the memory is recalled, it becomes a shared experience with the artist - part of our collective feminine mythology.

Emily Lovejoy . guest of Amber Cunningham Acrylic on canvas I paint what I want when I want. The images I use come from various fashion/hip-hop inspired blogs. I choose images based on what I enjoy looking at. When deciding on my next work, I try to analyze what inspires designers and stylists, as well as the minds of underground fashion bloggers. I like the idea of moving away from conceptual art, and just creating for the sake of having an aesthetically pleasing work of art.

Photography As someone who makes a living with words, I understand words have their limitations. Photography is a way for me to write with another tool. Of course, after writing those words, I decided to put together a series of photographs for WEST that all feature words, or at least lettering. So go figure. I’ll also have up some of my street art stencil photos I’ve taken from around the globe.

Greta Olivas Painting, acrylic, mixed media Abstract art allows me to be free, permission to express instinctively, become immersed in the canvas, paper, paints or whatever medium I decide to work with. Experimenting with materials allows me to stretch the boundaries of my imagination, and to display emotions hidden inside. When my hands discover the paint, it’s like magic speaking through me and I am just an instrument.

Sculpture, bronze My first sculpture was created in 1946. My teacher refused to exhibit my sculpture because I named it “We Two” and because it was of two women sitting next to each other. The teacher thought they were lesbians. I was thirteen. I didn’t know what lesbian was. I was humiliated. I was the only student who wasn’t exhibiting. I am 80 now. This sculpture is my favorite.

Carolyn Kimball Printmaking, painting I create layered landscapes that evoke the history and memory of place. My recent work is based on travels in the Middle East, where competing historical narratives and cultural memories shape modern life. These works portray a shared landscape, repeatedly divided, and the beauty of a land we only hear about in terms of bloodshed. Beneath the divisions of religion, culture, or nationality that we construct lies the common human experience.

These faces have a story of their own. The process of creating these masks has proven to be profoundly similar to how the human journey is created - unique and unpredictable.

Sculpture But Mr. Jimson, There must be artists. Yes, and lunatics and lepers, but why go and live in an asylum before you’re sent for. If you find life a bit dull at home and want to amuse yourself, put a stick of dynamite in the kitchen fire. Volunteer for a test pilot, or dive off Tower Bridge with five bobs’ worth of roman candles in each pocket. You’d get twice the fun at about one-tenth of the risk.

Lisa Whitworth Metal art I am a newcomer to the world of metal art. While much of my youth was spent working with acrylic paints, pen, and inks, I have found that while metal is cold and rigid it is also completely malleable and fluid. I am able to incorporate my love of geometrics into pieces of art. I am still exploring different techniques and styles and enjoying every minute of it.

Beeswax, organic in nature, allows me a freedom to explore the continuation of a journey that can begin with a random thought, an emotion or a dream. Using layers of wax, lines, marks, and discarded objects, I intuitively assemble abstract concepts into paintings and collages that resonate and express life as I know it.

AND FINALLY...A VERY SPECIAL THANKS... TO YOU! If you are holding this book, that means you made an important contribution to Big Medium and the art community of Austin. We are proud to have your support! As a non-profit organization, we value the inclusive nature of our programming and strive to make the studio tours accessible to all members of the community. The East Austin Studio Tour has grown exponentially over the past ten years, and now WEST is following suit, with a significant increase in participants from its inaugural year. We are truly grateful to our past and current supporters, whose contributions continue to be the key to the growth and success of our arts community. We hope WEST tour participants, tour goers and catalog enthusiasts will see purchasing the tour catalogs as an opportunity to support Big Medium and Austin’s growing art community. Big Medium is thankful for support at every level to help sustain our programming, including Big Medium Gallery exhibitions, the East Austin Studio Tour, the West Austin Studio Tour, and the Texas Biennial. Please visit bigmedium.org to learn more about how you can support the arts. Thank you!
