Mark H. W. Hiebert is a multi-talented artist who works across mediums and disciplines.

Self-portrait

Mark views painting as a medium for expression of what cannot be communicated in words or music and for which the factual reality of photography proves insufficient. In all things, it is an effort at articulating something authentic that speaks to the ineffable thread binding our humane selves to the existence we experience in our shared present moment.

fiber and clay, wire and wax, curious figuresand more from Lyn and Shannon.

WORKS BY LYN BELISLE

Lyn Belisle is a multidisciplinary artist embracing encaustic painting, earthenware, digital imagery, sculpture, textiles and found objects to discover and connect synchronistic shards of meaning through collage and assemblage. She has always been strongly influenced by the idea of “shards” as a metaphor for human communication across time. A shard can be a found fragment of clay, a rusty nail, a scrap of handwriting – any little clue that becomes a “secret handshake” between the maker and the discoverer. Lyn received her MA from Trinity University where she majored in studio art as an undergraduate.  She teaches mixed-media workshops at Lyn Belisle Studio in San Antonio, and also teaches nationally, most recently in Santa Fe, Provincetown, Washington State, and Taos. Her signature media are earthenware, beeswax, paper and fiber. She has work at The Museum of Encaustic Art in Santa Fe and in the San Antonio Art League & Museum.

WORKS BY SHANNON WEBER
Shannon Weber is a self-taught, award winning, interdisciplinary artist whose authentic object and sculpture designs are recognized for her unique methods of using the raw materials she has hand collected in various locations around Oregon. While there seem to be themes running through her designs, such as boats, or the “artifact” ambiance of certain objects, she allows the collected material to direct how the work is going to evolve. Every element collected has a history or a mythology of location, age, or place that is allowed to shapeshift as the materials and techniques are mixed to form the structure of the designs. Her work has attracted the attention of various curators of Fiber and Fine Craft which have included her work in their lectures for her skill and methods in design, both nationally and internationally. She has been asked to speak on her methods and use of materials, and she has been featured in numerous publications worldwide.

Olmos Mockingbird Handprints Gallery will host Melissa Grace Young for an opening reception to her exhibit of Soulful Sisters on Saturday, October 21 from 4 – 6 pm, including a lively artist talk about her work at 5:00 PM. She’ll discuss her figurative renderings of strong madonnas and how her creations follow her personal inner journey and evolution. Dialogue and questions are highly encouraged!

This exhibit includes her latest series of five ‘Sisters on a Mission’, taking inspiration from our San Antonio Missions and rich local heritage, and manifested though her focused madonna perspective.

Melissa Grace Young

Growing up in San Antonio, artistic expression began for me with scissors and crayons and paste and paints. Now I create because I must, for peace of mind, for my sanity really. And as I must, I’ve found ways to make art a big part of my life.

For the past twenty years, I’m drawn to figure and portrait sketching and painting, particularly the female form. And especially the divine female form: the madonna, with halos and hands and flaming hearts and crowns. I find myself creating madonnas of vivid colors and unbalanced facial features and body parts; so few things in life are perfect, and yet they can be so perfectly beautiful.

These days I fill journals with images of everyday wonders, and transcendent figures with extraordinary vision and strength, and I teach art journaling to help others on their creative journeys. My journal works inform my madonnas paintings and mixed media portraits of uncanny funkiness.

Melissa will also have some of her linocuts available in the show.

“Texas Kaleidoscope” Larry Portillo

“I have always had a passion for color. I love to use acrylic and oils on canvas and wood panels to create an impressionism effect. My art is characterized as having a distinctive meaning for each brush stroke color. The use of a palette of vivid colors brings the canvas to a unique life. Each painting may have a different interpretation to the viewer. I try to transmit the beauty and excitement of each landscape. Texas exists in all its glamor, style, and charm displayed to the eyes of the admiring. I want the eye of the viewer to enjoy the experience with the opportunity to facilitate an intersction between them and the art.”

MOCKINGBIRD HANDPRINTS IN OLMOS PARK PRESENTS

New works of Deb and Dan Soder,
formally of AdelAnte Restaurant

Artist reception Feb. 11th 2:00 – 4:00 pm
Artist talk starts at 4:00 pm
Please join us, AdelAnte queso will be served!

Dan and Deb closed their beloved restaurant, AdelAnte, on April 1, 2022 after 40 years of serving a healthy alternative TEXHEALTH. What to do in the next chapter?  Well, art is a big part, along with family, traveling, and doing whatever makes them happy.

Deb has always been in love with pottery. An avid collector. Drawn to the process of hand building-like when rolling out dough…

Dan’s work is mixed media, combining ink, paint and colored pencil. Being insprired by Mexican folk art-unfiltered and raw from the heart.
