Karasu I   by Catherine Eaton Skinner

At the peak of Galveston's spring migratory bird season, we're thrilled to present "Winged Beauties," featuring amazing images of birds and other winged creatures in a variety of mediums by three recognized midcareer artists.

We hope you won't miss the opportunity to see these beautiful artworks at our ArtWalk opening on Saturday, or while the exhibition is up through May 25. After that, these artworks will fly away, just like Galveston's migratory birds. 

Cold Feet   by Catherine Eaton Skinner

Working from her studios in the Pacific Northwest and Santa Fe, Catherine creates mixed-media paintings that explore the figure, both human and animal, and especially avian. The figure is an important element of Catherine's work and acts as a source of inspiration and exploration of identity, spirit and the paradoxes of human existence. Her work has been shown internationally and is included in numerous public and private collections.

Hawk Moth at Motherdog   by Louise Schlachter

A resident artist of Mother Dog Studios, Louise has always been curious about the little things, including hidden and discarded objects. So when a storm blew a flurry of moths blew into her life one day, it's no surprise that these mythical creatures became the subject matter for her new body of work, created as one-of-a-kind photographic images on metal. Louise also presents the original iridescent inks on clayboard that inspired the works on metal.
