Born in 1979 in Richmond, VA., Heather Gordy is a Houston based artist that works predominantly in the mediums of acrylic paint and ink. She obtained a degree in Animation Art and Design from The Art Institute of Houston, and is currently working in the graphic arts field. Using a myriad of flora and fauna as inspiration, her work often contains vivid colors and various pattern details. This lends each piece a dreamlike quality without losing its grip on reality.

Born April 1st, 1984 , Vincent Fink, Hunting Art Prize Finalist and award winning illustrator, works out of his Winter Street Studio in hometown Houston, Texas where he tirelessly adds to a multitude of projects that have each garnered success: The 5 year (and counting) strenuously detailed sumi ink drawing series; Atlas Metamorphosis Project that spawned from a lucid dream, the acrylic paintings called Iterations that explore his love for surrealism and sacred geometry, as well as designing, selling and screen printing his own clothing line.

PURGED - art inspired by objects
2015-02-28 18:00 - 2015-03-01 17:00 | TX
Public Opening Saturday February 28th 6-9PM Closing Sunday March 1st 2-5PM
46 artists were invited to create a work of art inspired by objects of William H. Miller when he moved to Myrtle Beach, SC from his home in Houston, TX. The art of purging was an emotional one for William and he decided to turn this emotional separation of his personal items into an art event. Items were given to various artists or various disciplines with notes about what the personal attachment was to the items being given. They were instructed to use that inspiration and/or material in their art making. It should be a very interesting show – showcasing the diverse talent in Houston.
