Houston Artist Collective
A growing collection of the artists, makers, and creative voices transforming how Houston sees itself—and how the world sees Houston.
Meet the People Behind the Work
Houston’s creative identity is built one studio, performance, exhibition, and experiment at a time. The Houston Artist Collective brings an artist’s profile and related reporting together in one place, making it easier to follow the person, the practice, and the ideas behind the work.
The collection begins with Cassandra Bohne-Linnard and is designed to grow as Houston City Beat documents more of the region’s visual artists and creative communities.
Cassandra Bohne-Linnard
A Houston native and the founder of Blue Butterfly Designs, Cassandra Bohne-Linnard has developed a distinctive practice around transformation, preservation, and the beauty of the natural world.
Her paintings, butterfly cloches, and luxury butterfly clocks connect close observation with an imaginative approach to color, form, and time.
Profile, Process and Artistic Evolution
Three complementary stories explore Cassandra’s Houston roots, the materials and ideas behind her work, and the path that shaped her creative practice.

Her Houston story, artistic development, and focus on preserving the beauty and fragility of nature.
Butterfly Clocks, Cloches and Abstract Paintings
Two video conversations explore her materials, process, and the evolution of her nature-inspired work.
The Artist Redefining Art
