Patti Wilson
Born in Cordoba, Veracruz, Mexico and is a graduate from University of Las Americas. She developed a passion for art as a child by watching her father work on his oil paintings. Art and painting has always been part of her life. A “self-taught” painter, Patty works with water colors, charcoals and acrylics. She prefers acrylics because of the bright and vibrant colors. She is most inspired by ideas, moments and situations in life. She enjoys transforming these events into a beautiful works of art with every stroke of the brush.

Linda O'Neal
Rebecca W. Dias
I am a self-taught artist and illustrator from Scottsdale, Arizona. Although I began my career in marketing and education, my need to color outside the lines has led me to pursue my creative interests on a deeper level than I could find at my desk. Currently, I am living and working in Navasota, Texas, as an artist-in-residence at the Horlock Gallery

Her work is inspired by her own life experiences and is a reflection of how she sees the world.
