Fantastical (2002)
Acrylic on canvas 24" x 48"
Tyler Hiroms says that when she does her art work--when she can finally shut out the noisy world and focus on color and the movement of a pencil or brush--only then does her own world begin to take shape.
"Sometimes I am tortured by the idea of an empty canvas. What to do? Where to begin? Somehow it seems to flow if I just pick up the darned paintbrush!"
Tyler believes that every child is born a natural artist, that some hold onto that gift while others let it go and grasp onto something else.
"One piece of advice I can give as an artist is not to give in to frustrations to the point where you block out your imagination. You've got to free your mind and just let art happen."

Earlie Hudnall is a well known Houston photographer whose work has been described as "arguably the most accurate chronicler of black life over the last twenty years."
"I chose the camera as a tool to document different aspects of life: who we are, what we do, how we live, what our communities look like. These various patterns are interwoven like a quilt into important patterns of history. A unique commonality exists between young and old because there is always a continuity between the past and the future. It is this commonality which I strive to depict in my work.
The camera really soes not matter; it is only a tool. What is important is the ability to transform an instant, a moment into a meaningful, expressive and profound statement, some of which are personal and some of which have a symbolic and universal meaning. My photographs are mere archetypes of my childhood. They represent a literal transcription of actuality--the equivalent of what I saw or felt. The viewer must accept the image as his own and respond emotionally and aesthetically to the captured image.

#1 - 6 "First Light" are faithful to the original colors;
#7 - 9 "Pure Light" are rendered in black and white; and

The Mountains Of My Native Land
24” x 48” Acrylic and ink on canvas (2002) Diptych; each painting 24" x 24"
Words discreetly written on painting: The canopied banks of Houston's bayous whisper stories of an infant city, "handsome and beautifully elevated, salubrious and well-watered."* Before Spindletop and the port and trade, before cotton and oil and air conditioning, before the stretches of cement highway and towering glass masterpieces, before theater and ballet, opera and symphony, intermittent murmurs of light rail - were wide, flat expanses of praire interrupted only by water, and by the hopes that lay ahead.
*Ad placed by August C. and John K. Allen of New York, 8-30-1836

ORCHIDACEAE
Phalaenopsis stuartiana (2/27/00)
Silver Gelatin (Selenium Toned) Print
"I live with and raise orchids. Each one has a duel nature: both a creature from its own exotic world and a reflection of our sensual or spiritual nature. Each one asks to be photographed in its own way. I merely listen and follow the instruction of each.
"In order to convey the special world of the orchid to you, I use a 4 x 5 Deardorff with a long lens and long bellows. I subject each negative to the solarization technique (made famous by Man Ray) in order to create the atmosphere or environment in which each orchid lives its unique existence. Each negative is printed in a straightforward way on silver gelatin paper and toned with selenium."

Color Series I
Untitled (07-07-91)
Prismacolor Pencil on Paper
"The drawings in this series are all about 'relationships'... the interaction of graphic elements. They are simply "expressions" in line, shape and color. Not intended to be understood, the idea is simply for you, the viewer, to relate to the elements... to notice if they impact you in a way that you somehow appreciate."
