Welcome to my website:  www.HenryCardenasArtist.com.  I am an Artist who resides in San Antonio, Texas.  Please enjoy my art, and reading my Bio, under the category:  About the Artist, which explains the type art I create.  Each day, I create some exciting art and enjoy sharing it with my Art Patrons, Fellow Artists, and Art Friends.  Most of the time, I paint abstracts, landscapes, and still lifes in Acrylic and Oils.  I also make sculptures of metal, wood, and glass or stone combinations.  My work is exhibited in my gallery, Little Studio Gallery in Historic La Villita, San Antonio, Texas, and The Adobe Fine Art, Ruidoso, New Mexico, www.theadobefineart.com.  

 

For the month of December 2012, I have a solo exhibit of my art at The Art Center of Corpus Christi, www.artcentercc.org.  The opening reception is Thursday, December 13, 2012, from 5 to 7 p.m.  The closing reception for my exhibit in the Kucera Gallery is Saturday, December 29, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.  I am the Juror for the annual Silver Cup Show of the Art Association of Corpus Christi and that exhibit is displayed concurrently with my solo exhibit.  An article about the exhibits is in the Friday, December 14, 2012, issue of the Corpus Christi Caller Times.  http://www.caller.com/news/2012/dec/14/art-center-of-corpus-christi-offers-four-in/.  http://www.caller.com/photos/2012/dec/09/146454/.  The CC Magazine is featuring an article about me and the exhibits in the December issue (pages 22 and 23) which is now also distributed at HEB Corpus Christi.

 I am also the Featured Artist for November and December in my own gallery, Little Studio Gallery in Historic La Villita, San Antonio, with additional artworks exhibited. 

 

In November 2012, The Art Lovers' Cookbook, San Antonio Edition, was released.  I am one of the San Antonio artists invited and selected to be published in the book with an original recipe for Hot Peach-Glazed Shrimp and an image of my art.  You can order the cookbook at www.artloverscookbooks.com.  There is an interesting article about the cookbook at www.savorsa.com which includes a quote by me in the book.   

 

I am one of the twelve artists selected to be in The Texas Contemporary Artists Series at the Institute of Texan Cultures-Smithsonian Affiliate, San Antonio, Texas.  www.texancultures.com.  The exhibit series is curated by Arturo Infanfe Almeida.  There is a short video that the ITC posted about me and my art on www.youtube.com, search Henry Cardenas Artist.  A large banner is displayed at the entrance to th Institute of Texan Cultures-Smithsonian Affiliate which shows the invitation image of my painting "Remember the Future" in the lower left corner of the banner.  On www.google.com, when you search Henry Cardenas Artist, you will locate numerous stories and images about me, my artworks, and exhibits.       

 

Contact information explains how to reach me and the exceptional galleries that represent my artworks.  I will be doing website postings with additional images of my art which is available for purchase.  And, I hope you can see my art in person at my galleries.  I do ship pre-paid art with reasonable prices for shipping and handling.  Thanks for visiting.
