I am a musician, songwriter, photographer, filmmaker, writer, visual artist, and experimenter in anything I can get my hands on. I graduated from MSU with a major in photography but spent a lot of time in ceramics, drawing, and printmaking. I love a good story. My dad is an amazing storyteller so in some way, the core of all my interests is the desire to tell a good story.

I am an art therapy teacher in a forensic psychiatric hospital. Art has always been a part of my life though never as deeply and as healing as with my current job. In the past I mainly stayed with using graphite and colored pencil for portrait work. In the recent 5 years I have branched out to different mediums as well as getting into abstract painting. I painted around 15 murals/wall art for the North Texas State Hospital Juvenile facility. I would like to get more involved in art culture and mural work with the community.

I received my BFA with Teacher Certification from Midwestern State University in 2014. For four years I taught high school art. I specialize in ceramic sculpture, painting, and printmaking. In my imagery, I use local wildlife to reflect upon art history, various cultures, society, and relationships.

Willetta Crowe is a photographer working in the rural corners of Texas. Her work celebrates nature, community, and a disappearing way of life in Texas. She developed an eye for visual storytelling through her 25-year career as an English teacher and during her time as a graphic artist in the heyday of the Times-Record News.

She was awarded Best of Show in the 2015 State Fair of Texas photography contest, as well as, second place in landscapes that year. In 2016, she placed first in SFOT people category, and in 2014 honorable mention in SFOT landscapes.

Most recently two photographs were selected to be a part of Texas Photography Society’s 2018 FotoTexas II Show in Alpine, Tx, and 31st Annual Members’ Only Show in Austin.

Ismael is a native Wichitan whose love of the arts comes from frequent visits to museums and the local library as a youngster. He has been fabricating for 17 years with a specialty in metal. Including partnering with Festival De Cine Latino, a 501c3 non-profit, to bring the annual FDCLA Latin Film Festival to Wichita Falls from the Dallas Metroplex, he promotes the arts by hosting the annual Los Muertos Festival in Wichita Falls, which he co-founded. He contributes to the art community by consistently working on projects for non-profits and owns an outdoor venue downtown on Travis street for artists to create and display their work throughout the year.

I work primarily with photography and mixed media collage.

My art reflects what is going on with me, how I feel about our culture, environment, and social interactions. I primarily work with steel which I fabricate and weld into art pieces. Many of my pieces include found metal pieces that are incorporated into the piece. I do paint as well.
