Jamie Brindley is a multimedia artist and maker working in her hometown of Austin, Texas. Approaching art as alchemy is an important aspect of Jamie’s creation process. From working with naturally dyed fibers to turning scraps of yarn and fabric into intricately woven finished works, every piece is about the transformation: Lead into Gold. Jamie is a self–taught fiber artist with a formal education in studio art and art history from Austin Community College and Texas State University. Golden Bat Studios is the creation of artist Jamie Brindley.

For Christina Green-Martinez, art is a medium to express and share her personal perspective of life and a shared appreciation of the medium and the natural world. In her more recent work, she seeks to capture images or feelings that she finds intriguing or that have intrinsic beauty. After attending a lecture by philosopher, architect and philanthropist Buckminster Fuller, she gained a new awareness of the physical world, both seen and unseen, from the microcosm to the macrocosm and the energy that flows throughout. Christina believes that all is connected. After spending 9 years in Taos, NM, Land of Enchantment, she gained a further appreciation of the vast landscape from the high desert to the mountains and the flow of life through all. There she opened an art gallery on the plaza, "Taos Home Grown", where she displayed and sold her work and that of local artist and crafts people. She also enjoys the simple presence of plein air painting and life drawing.

Jesse Sublett has been influential force in Austin culture since the late 1970s, when he was a founding member of The Skunks and The Violators, Austin’s first two punk bands. Many of the first punk gig flyers in Austin featured Jesse’s graphics, an outgrowth of his adolescent ambition to become a famous cartoonist and poet. As a visual artist, Jesse is known for his bold color choices and depictions of bird life and nature that engage and challenge the viewer to deepen their personal relationship with the outside world. His bold, often whimsical acrylic paintings of birds in urban settings evoke the unique character of Austin, where nature and city life coexist in a dynamic, evolving dance. Jesse’s conversion as a birder came in late 1997: “I had just been diagnosed with Stage IV throat cancer and my odds of survival were in the single digits. On a walk around Lady Bird Lake, I stopped to watch a great blue heron. I heard him speaking to me. Suddenly, I knew I was going to make it. I also knew that going forward, birds were going to be a big part of my life.” His work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and juried exhibitions. His pictures have been published in Texas Highways, the Desert Trumpet and The Purple Martin Update
