Henry David Potwin
Born in Dallas, Texas, Henry David Potwin is the oldest of three children. He first started to paint at the age of 8 years old. As a young boy, Potwin's family would summer vacation in Taos, New Mexico. During the family vacation in 1965, Potwin met artist Eric Gibberd, who became his mentor for years to come. Potwin attended the University of Houston fine arts program from 1969–74. He studied, alongside and under, a great group of artists, in a building called The Annex. Potwin's subjects range from landscapes, portraits, cityscapes to those that are personal to the artist, idiosyncratic, humorous and socially aware.

- "THE FUNNY SIDE OF ME"By Yuri Martinez RamosLocated in Los Angeles, CAYURI MARTINEZ RAMOS "THE FUNNY SIDE OF ME" OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED CUBAN-AMERICAN, C.2005 20 X 16 INCHES This piece is a type of self-portrait where I try to show the ones around me, I also have a funny side. Yuri Martinez Ramos was born in Havana, Cuba on November 24, 1964. He studied at the Elemental School of Plastic Arts from 1975 – 1979 and the National School of the Arts from 1979 – 1983. Martinez’ figurative paintings have been compared to Botero because of his satirical social commentary. His style, however, is uniquely his own with typically vibrant Latin colors and use of expressive magical realism. His paintings tell his story and the story of the Cuban dilemma. Martinez was granted permission by the US Justice Department after much effort with Cuban authorities to come to the US with his family and pursue his career outside Cuba. He now lives and works in Texas. Papillon Gallery...Category
