Some art work and biography
I am a 15 year old sophomore. I've been creating since I was a baby. In 2nd grade, I had a piece of artwork with my class on display at the Fort Worth Stock Show. I've had artwork on display at the district art show for FWISD every year since 2nd grade. I competed in Junior VASE competition for 3 years & received gold & platinum medals....I enjoy listening to music, playing the cello, guitar, keyboard & an occasional game of volleyball.
Being born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, I grew up surrounded by the kind of culture and values that inspired Texas Roots Outfitters from the very beginning. From rodeos and stockyards to Friday night lights, ranch land, and hardworking people, Texas has always been more than where I’m from — it’s a part of who I am. My journey to starting this company has been shaped by plenty of ups and downs — a road full of choices, lessons, and experiences that helped define me along the way. Some moments brought success, while others brought challenges, but every step taught me something valuable and pushed me forward with a stronger sense of purpose and appreciation for where I come from. Texas Roots Outfitters was created to celebrate Texas and the people who make it what it is. The brand honors the grit, history, values, and traditions that have shaped the Lone Star State for generations. Inspired by cowboys, ranching, wildlife, rivers, open plains, sports, faith, small towns, and the everyday spirit of Texas life, each design is meant to reflect the pride and resilience that Texans carry with them. At its core, Texas Roots Outfitters is about staying grounded, working hard, remembering your roots, and carrying the spirit of Texas wherever life takes you.

Woodworker, designer, photographer, adventurer-at-large. I specialize in custom-made wood-based artwork and furniture.
Crochet items
Woodworking started with my Father teaching me basics, but expanded wanting to create something with my hands and also engage problem solving skills (engineer brain). Took a few classes at Austin school of Woodworking/Furniture and expanded.
Small business curating candles and wax melts using coconut wax and fragrance infused with essential oil
I am a Fort Worth based fine artist. After pursuing a photography degree at the University of North Texas, I discovered graphic illustration and started my own freelance business, ‘Mandylopandy’. I won Dallas RAW Artist of the Year in 2012. Through networking, I joined local art collectives, and participated in several Gallery Nights, Art Cons, and Music& Festivals in the DFW metroplex. Being a part of the Fort Worth art community has always been important to me, I love networking with small businesses, from showing in local salons, boutiques, and on local music flyers. After stepping back to focus on family, I’m looking to kickstart my artist career.

Art has always been a part of my life in one form or another. As a child, I loved expressing myself creatively through poetry, songwriting, drawing houses, and attempting portraits — even if they were far from perfect. Creativity was always something that brought me joy and allowed me to connect with my emotions and imagination. Years later, as an adult, I found myself returning to writing poems and songs during difficult moments in life. Creating became a source of peace, healing, and emotional release. Around that same time, I also began making jewelry and discovered another artistic outlet that I truly enjoyed. Painting entered my life as a hobby through occasional art classes, including a virtual class I took during the pandemic. That experience sparked something deeper within me and inspired me to begin painting on my own. It was during this journey that I discovered fluid art and instantly fell in love with its beauty, movement, and unpredictability. Today, my artwork is inspired by emotion, nature, beauty, and the freedom of self-expression. I enjoy working with different mediums, allowing each piece to evolve organically and tell its own unique story. Through my art, I hope to create works that bring peace, warmth, inspiration, and joy to others.
