About the Montrose Art Society:
The Montrose Art Society is a group of predominantly visual artists living in Houston Texas. The group takes a collective approach to building the individual careers of its members by engaging the Houston community through visual arts. The MAS exhibits frequently and actively, with each exhibition planned as a group show featuring a specific member. Members of the MAS actively promote the arts in Houston at varying levels: through workshops, classes, volunteering, and curating.

Abut the Artists:
Juliana Alonso-Olarte
“My art is the home where my memories and inspirations meet with my abilities for conversation. There, my culture and believes layer my nostalgia as gossamer-thin tracings; I visually connect these intangibles to the passions and relationships of my daily life. While everything mingles, I zoom into the details to create.”

Alejandro Caiazza
Alejandro Caiazza’s most recent work demonstrates a strong passion on American pop culture, embracing traditional forms expressed in primary colors and sometimes adopting a ‘naive’ technique.

Lauren Luna
Art is the vessel by which Lauren Luna uses to breathe life into her creativity embodied with her perception. Inspired collections reveal a speaking artist through means of colorful verbage, to modestly announce how art is an intricate factor in her life. Lauren Luna’s paintings are layered with emotions, allowing her to speak visually her life journey on canvas.

Tina McPherson
Houston-based multi-media artist, Tina McPherson has a passion for awareness and self-exploration projects. She examines the notion that life is a highly complicated mystery that humans must understand with rational thought and intelligence. Through her art, photography and design, her goal is to explore, engage and spark dialogue in order to help one discover and achieve this understanding.

Adam Romero
“My current work focuses on capturing human emotion. Emotion is very powerful; it touches every single person around the world and we identify with it. It binds us together as well as tears us apart.”

Roberto X. Torres-Torres
“I seek new imagery that mirrors time we live in and does not point at the past. I make 4-dimensional art in 2-dimensional media.”
