Featured Live and Exhibiting Artists
Guillermo Cubillos
Guillermo Cubillos has a passion for sketching pop art, portraits and children’s characters. For his earlier works, he used traditional mediums of oil and pastel, but today, digital art has become his medium of choice. His innate love of art has led to his unique interpretation of mainstream culture.
David Maldonado
David “Davey Jones” Maldonado is a Houston-based artist that uses various mediums such as visual art, music and live performance to tell his story. His artwork features elements drawn from Mexican folk art and murals blended in a contemporary style. His work reflects conversations of faith, culture and pays homage to the locals that inspire him to pursue his vision.
Micah Simmons
Micah Simmons (a.k.a. MICAHtheARTIST) relies on color to relate form and feeling. His story involves a lengthy and sometimes daunting path to sight as a result of three corneal transplants. The colors and loose command of flow, coupled with the influence music has in his creative process, are testament to his journey. When he is painting for an audience, he absorbs the energy, which becomes as much a part of the work as the paint and the canvas.
