Bayou City Art Festival

The 13th Annual Bayou City Art Festival was held on March 26-28 and showcased an array of awe-inspiring art: jewelry, mixed media, photography, wood, and more. With over 300 hundred talented artists from all over the US, I was not going to miss out this year. The weather was fantastic and I enjoyed a breezy stroll along the winding path of Memorial Park. A collection of colorful bird houses caught my eye and after half an hour I finally picked the perfect one - an eclectic masterpiece made of recycled wood and tin with a silver spoon for a perch! Weather Wonders by Dave Bruce will also be sold at The Village Firefly in the near future, but you may have already seen them in California and Arizona. Here is a peek at some of the best artists, I collected their ads and listed their websites below. Enjoy!

  1. Lynden St. Victor - Fantasy and reality collide with grace in the paintings of the festival's featured artist.
  2. Ward Art Studio - Painted prarie grass allows for this mixed media to explode off the wall.
  3. Dolan Geiman - Ingeniously designed handcrafted collages made with recycled material and marked by a Southern influence.
  4. Dress Paintings - Exquistely charming collages of real baby dresses or vintage cloth adhered to canvas.
  5. Skipping Lilies - Shabby chic handmade pendants made with real flowers.
