Last Day for East Austin Studio Tour

I was fortunate enough to get out and visit several of the studios on the East Austin Studio Tour yesterday afternoon. Today is the last day, but if you get the chance...here are the studios I visited and loved the most. If you have never done the East Austin Studio Tour... you really, really should take advantage of this opportunity to visit with artists directly and snap up some amazing works of arts at surprisingly affordable prices.




#2 Karen Saenz - Amazing oil paintings of dreamlike scenes that make you feel like you are really there. http://www.karensaenz.com/




#16 Fisterra Studio - Painter Jennifer Chenoweth and sculptor Todd Campbell merge art, architecture, function, and nature throughout their 101 year old studio/home. This was by far my favorite! http://www.fisterrastudio.com/ I just read on their site that Jennifer Chenoweth will also help you choose paint colors for your home... need to give her a call but, sadly, I know my home still won't look nearly as cool and fabulous as hers.




#30 Dog House Studios - A collective studio including work from 3 truly inspiring, provoking painters Karen Maness, Jennifer Balkan , Pablo Taboada.








#4 Bright Studio - lots of affordable yummy things for the home in this studio featuring the works of Brenna Byerlotzer, Heather Parrish and Anna Swanson. Brenna and Anna form textile design company Margret Helene. Heather utilizes just about everything she can in her art. Her works include but are not limited to: large woodblock prints, sculpture, and drawings.
