"dripping with talent" - JUNE 28, Saturday, free event

 Watercolor~Pen~Acrylic artist using dots and circles to convey movement, depth, and texture. 

 I’m a mixed media artist, born and raised in East Texas and now based in Austin. The tones and hues in my work are drawn from my deep love for West Texas and New Mexico. Recently, my focus drifts toward abstract watercolor landscapes, critter illustrations, and expressive portraits. 

 Erin Hounsel is a primarily self taught watercolor, ink, acrylic Texas Hill Country artist. With a passion and need to create, Erin seeks to portray nature through different mediums to bring to light the colors and textures God has blessed us with in His divine creation. Inspired by miles and miles of hiking, Erin draws upon these trips to produce wildlife and landscapes in canvas form. Erin sees it as a true delight to bring to life our natural surroundings in art form.

Leigh Watson is a full-time business owner and muralist whose canvas art practice is rooted in relaxation, meditation, and personal fulfillment. While murals demand scale, vision, and collaboration, Leigh turns to the quiet of the canvas as a space for restoration - a way to unwind and reconnect. Her process with color and movement is intuitive and calming, guided more by feeling than by outcome. The result is a body of work that is relaxed and playful. While deeply inspired by Mother Nature (our most talented and prolific artist), Leigh draws from those perfect color combinations, shapes, and patterns. We truly live in a canvas of Nature’s abstract art!

Leigh’s passion for her work, both large and small scale, is fueled by her pursuit of freedom in the truest sense: freedom to create, to collaborate, to nurture ideas until they grow into something far greater than their beginnings. She strives to apply that freedom to her own life and support it in the lives of other artists/creators.
