Adult Artist of the Month

 

May Artist of the Month - Susan Bryant

One of the biggest challenges and most rewarding things of being an artist is to have an idea spark in your mind and to be able to manifest it into physical form. I began drawing at about the age of 4 and have been exploring art ever since. I worked in the North Texas area for nearly 24 years under the name Cloud9 Murals and Painting doing murals, faux painting, Venetian plaster and other projects for residences, businesses, and churches/ministries. I primarily work in oils and acrylics but will also draw, sculpt and explore elements of mixed media. I received a BA in Art with a minor in Art History from UTPB. My inspiration comes from nature, Scripture, and dreams. I recently relocated to the Nueces Canyon area and look forward to focusing more on my art. More works can be seen and purchased at Cloud9paintings.com. Susan Bryant Be sure to stop by duringregular library hours Tuesday thru Friday from 11 am –5 pm

May Artist - Amari De La Cruz

At just seven years old, Amari De La Cruz, has already developed a deep love for the art that began when he was four years old. Inspired by time spent drawing and coloring with his grandmother Lorrie Sweeten who was an artist herself, he quickly showed a natural talent and passion for creativity. Although she is no longer with him, her influence continues to live on through his work. Now a first- grade student in Knippa, Amari continues to grow as an artist, creating pieces that reflect his imagination and his kind humble spirit. His family is incredibly proud of the dedication and joy he brings to everything he creates. While art seems to be his main passion, Amari also enjoys playing sports such as baseball, soccer and track. Amari and his mother, Sky De La Cruz who is a Nurse Practitioner, live in Uvalde and often come to the Canyon to visit his Grandfather, Lee Sweeten.
