WOW!!! Just wow. I got a chance to meet Jon earlier this year in Llano, TX at the LEAF festival and his work is stunning. See for yourself.

I’m not sure where or when I meet these gals but I love them. Aside from their wonderfully creative art they are just good people. I’m happy to cal...

Kelley Knickerbocker is a visual artist and instructor. I enjoy her work. I find her story of leaving her career behind to become a full-time artist and her art inspiring.  I haven't taken one of her classes yet but it's only a matter of time. Check out her Instagram and her website

Marlene of GoWithTheFlowInks, serves up bright and beautiful artworks that are inspired by the desert landscapes and sunsets of Arizona, where she resides. I hope you enjoy her work as much as I do. Follow Marlene on Instagram

The thing I have always loved about Instagram is stumbling across artist I never would have met otherwise. This pottery is whimsical and just pure fun. I don’t know this artist but I’m sure we would be friends. Check out his Instagram

Jeremy Biggers is a Dallas-based artist. He attended Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts where he primarily focused on expression through graphite and charcoal drawing. During his college years he cultivated his love for painting and photography, and they’ve since cemented themselves into his everyday life. Biggers' work is shaped by experiences that inform his view of the world. His goal with each piece is to inspire conversation.
Many murals you find around DFW are his and in February, Jeremy collaborated with Fossil to design a new watch for Black History month.

Julie Shunick Brown is a contemporary artist in Dallas, TX.

I love what she has to say about her process. “My painting evolves as life does. Currently, the process is intuitive - no preconception or idea of the end result.  The work gets more deliberate and intentional as it progresses but it develops as a reaction to what is on the canvas. I focus on composition and color and the result is a surprise that often seems reflective of life.”

Charlie along with her mother Erica own Bluebell Kitchen. They create amazing botanical inspired wedding cakes and macarons. You’ll have to cross the pond to go to their shop and taste their goodies.  I guarantee it’s worth the trip. Their cakes are a work of art. I’m so mesmerized by their talent. Even if you aren’t planning a trip to Kent follow them on IG @bluebellkitchen. You won’t be disappointed.
I’ve known Charlie for many years and she is as delightful as her creations.

I don't get to visit this lovely person often as she lives in #Canada. I'm fortunate to own a piece of her #pottery. Jesse Weise is multi talented artist who is one of the kindest people I've ever met. Check out her Etsy shop WeiseArts. #dancer #teacher #potter www.etsy.com/ca/shop/WeiseArts

I know little about Daria Marchenko but I am touched by her, by her art, and mostly by her spirit. I hope to be that brave. The painting - "The Face of War"  was created by in response to the events of 2014 in Ukraine, when Russia showed aggression and attacked the eastern part of the country, thus creating the largest military conflict in Europe since the Second World War endangering world security. It was created in 2014 in collaboration with Daniel D Green using 500 bullet casings.

I meet Helen years ago when she was my best friend Krista’s roommate in Scotland. I’d only hung out with her for a few days but have followed her and her career since. I’m so glad I did. She is amazing. She now lives in Australia and paints the landscape that surrounds her. She opened up a gallery of her work in her hometown of Mullewa, I hope to visit it someday but for now I’ll just have to be content with getting her paintings online.
