"The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls." -- Pablo Picasso

First-time ArtWalk artist Alicia Quijano creates beautiful and intriguing art. Working both in 2D and 3D, Alicia uses multiple mediums and sources such as paper, fabric, metal, felt, and more, layering pieces and binding them together to produce abstract, delicate, and fanciful shapes, which can resemble lace, paint, spiderwebs, or clouds, depending on the result.

"I find a sense of calm in the act of making pieces by hand, one cut or stitch at a time. The materials used are often remnants: the small leftover portion from a fabric skein, thread from my grandmother when she could no longer sew, paper scraps needing to be discarded, outdated documents that need to be recycled. Now, they have a new life." -- Artist Alicia Quijano, from the website

Come see Alicia's intricate and inspiring art during ArtWalk.

"When I was a boy, I always saw myself as a hero in comic books and in movies. I grew up believing this dream." -- Elvis Presley

Most kids dream of being a hero, and comics are one way that dream is fueled. As well, adults also like to escape into a fantasy world, which comics can provide. We are extremely proud to introduce this artist (or group of artists, rather), right here in East Texas, who are working to add quality content to the comic world. Welcome United Vision Comics!

"We, UNITED VISION COMICS, see our community as the gold pillars to a fantastic future of stories and adventures, so we treat you as such. We give our all when creating our Comic Books, we don't just settle for good enough, we go for extraordinary. For our work to be the best it can be, whether art, video, writing, or design work, it won't leave our desks until we believe it will do justice for our community. " -- Enrique Ramirez, Founder

With a group of intriguing titles, amazing artwork, a fresh perspective, and dedication to quality and high standards, United Vision Comics has much to offer and we look forward to seeing them grow. Look for them soon at Geektopia and other local havens of Geekery. Until then, follow them on Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube , and on the Web at http://unitedvisionhq.com.

NEED222BREATHE is a collection of locally foraged art pieces based in Tyler, Texas." -- from the Artist

"Always have something beautiful in sight, even if it's just a daisy in a jelly glass." - H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Daisies are popular in gardens because they are both a lovely flower, with their pure-white petals and bright centers, add because they thrive almost anywhere they're planted. This weekend at the ArtWalk you'll find another Daisi, who cultivates her own beauty wherever she goes!

Daisi is a multi-genre artist who paints, draws, makes her own decorative embossed paper, and turns hers inspiration into canvases, magnets, and more. Her subjects are sometimes simple, sometimes natural, and often done in vibrant color to rival the sun-like center of the flower she's named after. We are thrilled to have her for the first time (as an artist--she's been supporting our artists already!) at the Kilgore ArtWalk, and look forward to what she brings!

Follow .by.daisi on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Threads.

One look at the woodcarvings of artist Dale Leath and you'll agree that he's naturally suited for the task! Originally from Kilgore but currently living in McKinney, Texas, Dale enjoys creating holiday cheer year-round with whimsical carvings of Santa, elves, The Grinch, snowmen, and gnomes. His carvings make fantastic tree ornaments or cute standalone figures for decoration. Dale also carves mangers that are perfect for any Nativity scene.

We are pleased to welcome Dale back to Kilgore, and we believe he'll be pleasantly surprised at how much our Downtown has grown! Stop by on Saturday and say hello!

"Colors are the smiles of nature." -- Leigh Hunt

Our next artists will definitely have you smiling with delight at their bounty of colorful works! New ArtWalk Artists Marissa and Jacob with The Hippy Hut will be joining us Saturday in downtown Kilgore!

Marissa and Jacob are definitely aficionados of color! They create paintings and drawings of natural subjects done in psychedelic, vibrant hues. Mushrooms, flowers, butterflies, moons, and more shimmer, flutter, and glow in a bright array, with stark outlines or sometimes tinged with metallics. Bold and beautiful, their work is dreamy but cheerful and always delightful.

In addition, Marissa and Jacob are tie-dye artists with a sense of whimsy unfurled in rainbow swirls. Tapestries, pants, dresses, tees, bags, and more, all available in a flurry of vivid tones. While perusing The Hippy Hut, take a moment to enjoy a bit of fun, as they have musical instruments to play around with while you visit.

Marissa also offers face- and body-painting services for parties and events. Talk to her about bookings for your next event.

While they are working on building new social media and website, you can follow Marissa and Jacob's work online on their original social medias, linked below--

"Before I started painting, I thought painting was a magic that only a selected few could use." -- Yatora, from the series Blue Period

Bob Ross would definitely disagree with the idea that only a few can paint, and he's not wrong. However, there's no denying that there are some that have an unusual and epic talent, and one of those people is local artist Irene Flores!

Irene's work is in a highly detailed style that is occasionally reminiscent of Rockwell, with a touch of lighthearted whimsy that works well with the subjects of her work, which includes many anime and fantasy characters. Her precise, realistic depictions of both animated and real-life characters are visual love notes, showing an appreciation and affection for each subject that's tangible in each piece. Other pieces reflect the fantasy of their subjects, with bright colors and bold strokes.
