Brad Abrams
Born in Allentown, Pennsylvania in 1965, Abrams received his formal education at the California College of the Arts, studying under Marvin Lipofsky. He was further influenced under the tutelage of the late American ceramicist, Viola Frey. Her guidance is seen in Mr. Abrams work to this day. Both mentors, in addition to being raised by an artisan mother and a metallurgist father, appeared to have been major influences on Abrams' thought processes as well as his inventiveness in choosing glass as a material for his artistic expression.
Anna Elrod
Austin local, Anna Marie Elrod, specializes in unique pottery.
Her love of nature has been her main influence in her pottery, often using natural elements such as stones, shells, leaves and water in her pottery designs.
Lynda Wilson Born and raised in west Texas, Lynda graduated from Texas Tech in 1960, receiving a bachelor's degree in Home Economics, with a minor in Applied Arts. Her degree choice reflected her desire that art would influence much of her life.
Two weeks after graduation, she married her high school sweetheart, Don, and lived in Austin while he finished his degree at UT. Many weekends were spent in the Hill Country where she became enthralled with the beauty of Texas wildflowers.
Between raising twin boys and her teaching career, it was not until retirement that Lynda had the time to explore and teach herself the art of Batik. Her love of flowers, color and pattern is reflected in her work.
Residing in Van Alstyne, Lynda continues to spend her time refining her skills and finding new and exciting subjects to share in her beautiful Batiks.
Andy Quaglino
Andy, inspired by artists such as Picasso, Calder, Warhol, LeRoy Neiman, Peter Max and Matisse, is a self-taught artist and has painted throughout his life in his spare time while working full-time as a software developer. In the past he most commonly painted in acrylics on paper board, and strictly for his own personal pleasure.
Late in 2003, Andy decided to try his hand at the medium of oils on canvas. He set out to develop a new and distinctly identifiable style for this latest adventure into art, and to create a body of work intended for public consumption. Even though the work is meant for public view, the style was developed based on Andy’s inward observations of the characteristics of various paintings that have brought him the most pleasure.
Although an Austin native, Andy and his wife Debie spend their time touring in their RV participating in numerous art festivals around the USA.
