“I have made a series of niches, with the idea of a place to hold a memory, a time, an emotion, something lost and gone from my past. This quote from Pablo Neruda was in mind while making the pieces, “So I wait for you like a lonely house till you see me again and live in me.” For me the quote touched on the bittersweet feeling of remembering beautiful times and wanting what was to come back and knowing it will not.”

Ceramica Botanica is her company name, which focuses on functional pottery that celebrates daily living. Susan has shown in many shops, galleries and participated in various shows throughout the country. The plates and platters in show coordinate with the niches also in this body of work.

Artist, Kiwi.Tabasco is a lifelong creative and has always loved the explorative and creative aspects of life, which lead to her painting and debuting her first collection in the Fall of 2020. Most of her work is acrylic based, although her newest collection incorporates mixed media like leather, glass, and burnt wood.
When asked what she hopes viewers will gain from her work, she says, “Your worldly experience is predicated on your interpretation of the senses”. There’s more than what meets the eye. My art strikes a joyful sensation that you may be unfamiliar with, drawing you closer to discovering the elements that live on the canvas. You may choose to display any piece in two to four orientations. I want the viewer to embrace the opportunity to inquire and question what the art communicates.”
When she’s not painting, Kiwi.Tabasco is polishing her athletic talents holding a Red Belt in Budokon Mixed Martial Arts and scaling courses at Spartan and Hyrox Races. She’s also a fashionable woman captivating a mixed audience on social media with the latest trends and thrift finds. In a professional capacity Kiwi.Tabasco, Lauren A. Hillard, is also the author of “The Study Guide for a Hardheaded Entrepreneur.”

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.
