Changarritto with Lys Santamaria Mexic-Arte Museum
West Weekends – 12-3pm Lys Santamaria was born in Colombia and raised in both Canada and the United States. Her beadwork is primarily inspired by her travels abroad and by influential women in her life. She enjoys using traditional beading techniques that reflect her cultural background. The repetitive motion of her work allows her time to meditate and each bead is woven with intention. Changarrito is an art vending cart, conceptualized by artist Maximo Gonzalez as an alternative to the official gallery selection presented by the Mexican cultural authorities. Faithful to their original, informal spirit, Changarritos exist throughout the world, evolving as forums for the sale of original artwork to the general public, presentation of public programs, special curatorial projects, individual and collective exhibitions. 501 Congress Ave – (512) 480-9373 info@mexic-artemuseum.org – mexic-artemuseum.org

Gabriel Frampton – Austin Public Library: Little Walnut Creek Branch Paper, mylar, mathematics Inspired by nature and mathematics, I created a novel form of modular origami composed of interlocking woven strips. This approach allows for absolute symmetry and high durability; the method of construction ensures that the structures will never sag or unravel, and will even support weight.

When a viewer must resist the urge to touch a piece because she simply wants to experience its energy, I have achieved some success. When the artwork continues to impact the viewer causing her to examine it whilst sensing joy, excitement and wonder, I have achieved my intention as an artist.

21. Mare Kretschmar – Austin ArtSpace Gallery & Studios Acrylic on canvas I paint a very focused subject matter but the surrounding area around my subject takes on a wonderful abstract theme. I have a general idea of what the background will look like, but it can change during the actual rendering. It’s what I see in that moment in the background. Eventually, it reveals itself to me. So what I’m seeing can be completely different from what another person might see. Gallery 7739 Northcross Dr, Ste Q – marekretschmar@gmail.com Accessibility: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Photo encaustics and fine photography Why Studio Cygnet? It’s a reference to the story about the ugly duckling that turns out to be a beautiful swan. The ducklings couldn’t recognize the beauty because their only experience was as a duck chick, and not as a cygnet. The moral of the story is my inspiration. There is beauty in all things; we just may need to change who we are to experience it and be allowed to appreciate that beauty.

Once the memory is recalled, it becomes a shared experience with the artist - part of our collective feminine mythology.

Chuck Voelter
Oil and urethane on canvas, hemp canvas, and plywood In painting I’ve found the opportunity to create a world that fuses the literal with the ephemeral, nature and human nature, plants and animals, the macro to the micro; when I paint shapes, with lines or with poured paint, I often seek to mimic forms I know from the human body and the natural world in combinations that evoke a primal familiarity.

313. Lee Ross – Back Painted Glass Studio 103 Back painted glass I am a visual artist who is interested in nontraditional applications of acrylic painting. Currently my work is painting on the back of glass with acrylic paints. To work directly on glass, the composition needs to be reversed, and the order of the layering is switched; from bottom/back to front/top. All images are lit from the front unleashing, the “life” in the paintings. Artist Studio 820 Shelby Ln, Unit #103 – innerliteart@gmail.com innerliteart.com Accessibility: 6

Saybra Giles
Mixed media photo collage I take photographs of small things: found objects, tiny creatures, minutiae we really don’t notice. I’m drawn to small creatures within their own ecosystems and to objects that become lost in the background. I create collages using image transfers from my photographs. My work explores relationships between human nature and the symbolism presented by small creatures or objects.

I like finding new and interesting ways of utilizing and extending the life of otherwise overlooked, expendable materials. Like a hip hop artist samples old jazz, funk and soul records for their tracks, I sample technology, industrial design, manufacturing and popular culture for my works. Math and geometry too.

The owl is a complex symbol of protection, darkness, wisdom, and foreboding. In this series, expressionless owls show up as masked stand-ins shrouded in protective human garb. Keeping silent.
