The fresh flower jewelry is a natural art elegance and a unique addition to the boutique at House of Flowers…although not a local artist, the flowers are handpicked and home grown in Mexico with lovely flowers growing in every corner of a small yard.  Papa tends the flowers, mama runs the show and the six children make the jewelry.  The family harvests the tiny flowers and each jewelry piece is then made with a tweezers and a careful eye.  Each piece is individually made and arranged.  Along with the immediate family there are now 12 nieces working on the flower jewelry and continuing to create the most beautiful product of its kind.

 Myriam Reynolds creates large, bold, energetic paintings in mixed media…My paintings are best described as meditations on relationships and modern life.  The subjects of my paintings are my emotions that I depict using bright, dramatic and contrasting tones.  The forms in my paintings are organic, full of life and are often overlapping or in relationship. 

Creating art is my medicine.  I make decisions and choices in my painting by instinct not thought.  My paintings are the containers of what is on my mind.  I work quickly and often on multiple images at the same time.  I don’t labor over my paintings but rather produce automatic images to process through the emotional material and release it in a more polished and refined form.  The concepts in my work reveal themselves as I create and are not always conscious at the beginning of the painting. My intention is for the viewer to relate to my work emotionally, spiritually and aesthetically.

My greatest influences include Friedensreich Hundertvasser, Wassily Kandinsky, and the Mexican crafts I saw in my formative years in Mexico.  Kandinsky in particular, as well as being an accomplished technical artist, used art as an expression of the spiritual and wrote about it extensively.

Rob Little  as fortunate enough to be born and raised in Zimbabwe in southern Africa, and this resulted in his first appreciation of nature and landscapes. After leaving Africa in 1999, he lived in England for 5 years before moving to and settling in Colorado. He says, "One of the finest aspects of living across 3 continents is you get to appreciate the unique landscapes of each area."

Although he has always been interested in photography, he initially became interested in watercolor painting, which remains a pursuit. He says, "I think my experiences in painting have inspired me to shoot photographs with the goal of matching the deliberate compositional aspects of landscape paintings. My first love in photography is landscape, particularly around the margins of the day, though I also enjoy experimenting with close up macro photography.
