Felice House

“To portray women without objectifying them is an intentional, political act. The art historical tradition is to paint women to extol their sexual beauty and to encourage possessiveness. There is a new guard of women painters who provide a counterpoint to this tradition by depicting a more multifaceted version of the female psyche. I align myself as an artist with them by attempting to broaden the depiction of women as subjects in painting. My subjects are beautiful and observable, but not consumable. They are more public than private and more iconic than intimate. My paintings have a strong connection to traditional portraiture in both style and technique. However, my subjects are contemporized through the use of modern fashion, unexpected facial expressions, unique color relationships and photographic cropping.” ~FELICE HOUSE

Dana Younger

Dana Younger, VP of Blue Genie Art, is truly a man for all seasons. Besides being a painter, sculptor, mold maker, and computer artist, Dana is one of the chief innovators at Blue Genie Art. His Fascination with the creative process and all types of matreials keeps Blue Genie Art on the cutting edge. Essentially, he is a one man research and development team, and it was on his urging that [they] recently acquired [a] new 3D laser scanner and 3 axis CNC milling machine and our Polyurea spray equipment.

Dana also had an unusual childhood, including building and living in a log cabin without electricity (his stories of walking in the snow for miles to get to school are actually true!) and living on the Pacific Ocean in a sail boat.

• David Abel is a professional photographer, outdoorsman, an avid whitewater kayaker and rafter. In 1984 while studying Geology at the University of Texas in Austin, he was invited on a raft trip down Santa Elena Canyon in Big Bend National Park. David was so enamored by the river environment that he has devoted most of his life traveling North America in search of remote river canyons, capturing their beauty with his camera.

• Chris Connor was born and raised in Chicago, IL. He has spent the majority of his life in Dallas and the last seven years in Austin. Connor began painting in oils fifteen years ago, starting off as a hobby that turned into an obsession. Striving in every attempt to capture something fresh and exciting but at the same time, based upon traditional values.

• Mackenzie Graham was an art history major at the University of Texas who focuses her artistic interest with an academic and professional lens. Her concern for art extends beyond paint and canvas, reaching into the sphere of creative exposure and engaging local audiences in physical art. With oil paint and crayon, Mackenzie displays texture and color while realizing the limitations of her medium. She uses her ability to put perception to page to heighten her audience’s view of the world.

• Anne Ducote has resided in Austin since 1976. Over the years, travel has been a large part of her life, and as a result, her work reflects some of the beautiful places and things she has seen. Her creative endeavors have included her original paintings in oils, watercolors and pastel drawing, several print series and assorted prints, commercial work, faux finishing, murals, commissioned painting used on movie sets, portraiture, and the like. Her subjects range from the ordinary to the sublime.
