Mother's Day by Angela Hetzel in Houston

The kids are grown. I have peace and quiet. It's now time to Paint. I work in Oils, Watercolors and Pastels. I am classically trained in fine arts. In high school I was fortunate enough to attend Houston TX Aldine Contemporary Education Arts Magnet program also known as “ACE”. We studied and worked in everything: true metal plate etchings, photography, life drawing, acrylic, silk screen printing. My favorite artist Toulouse Lautrec and his stone lithographs. The novel pieces that brought simple street art to the clubs of Paris still intrigue me to this day. After ACE I secured acceptances to University of Savanna School of Art and Design, Pratt institute in New York City, and Texas Tech University. At the Art Institute of Houston I acquired my Associates Degree in Graphic Design.
