Welcome to OnyzxArt Gallery!
I am a mixed media artist, which means that I use collage materials and digital techniques, combined with acrylic paint, drawing media and found materials, to create my work. Open a window on an unknown universe, explore to find joy and mystery. These works are diverse - some mysterious, and some reminiscent of the steampunk aesthetic. My imagery involves Victorian and Edwardian era photos, images from exotic places, odd toys and dolls, circus posters, old machinery, and references to mystical belief. Images recur when they have become part of my personal vocabulary – moons, stars, cats, and dolls. You will find Tarot cards and palmistry charts, along with vintage dolls and old-fashioned houses. There are textures, swirls, handwriting and charts. Rather than a specific meaning, look for an emotion or sensation. These artworks are visions of a magical dreamworld, created with found materials and recycled objects.

Obituary
REBECCA ELLEN GUY
REBECCA ELLEN GUY
On a brisk Sunday, in the fertile land of Temple, Texas, a child was born to Mr. & Mrs. Guy. It was 1953 and they named her Rebecca, which means she who captivates beauty, with the middle name of Ellen – sunray or bright light. The young child grew into the power of her name.
Rebecca’s young life was spent on her Grandparents farm in Troy, Texas. She spent nourishing times with Mima and PaPa Curtis. She was an avid reader and her desire to learn was encouraged by her Mother who was an educator at the Temple I.S.D. Her interest in arts came through music, drawing and dance which emerged in her early life. Educated in Bell County, Rebecca graduated from Temple High School. After High School she attended the University of Texas at Austin and North Texas University where she Graduated with a degree in Fine Art. She experimented with various art mediums while working at the L.B.J. Library in Austin Texas for 15 years.
In 1996 Rebecca married Charlie Bauer, who supported her artistic avocation. Living out the mantra of her name, she captivated beauty in developing a collage technique where she amazingly sized and tinted, delicately cut images from pictures, magazines, books, and the internet. Her collection of imagery was massive. Lovingly she arranged these images on canvas and using acrylics, colored pencils and inks created a statement of art which encompassed mythical and exotic themes of people, places, and extraordinary concepts. Each day she worked meticulously on her art, which emerges as a love and a spiritual occupation. Traveling with Charlie, she displayed her unique style at Art Festivals around the country and received several artistic awards and accolades. She had a library of information that she harbored in her heart and head and she shared her wealth of knowledge freely. She used her visual art talents to assist in Winners Camp, a Juvenile Offenders Program which taught young students about art and techniques. Through art lessons, films and field trips, students were enhanced as they gained knowledge of the fine arts. She worked with the Afro American Players EMAC Poetry Café and assisted in art shows and various theatrical productions.
Rebecca was a dedicated daughter who in 2009 put her art career aside to bring her mother into her home, who suffered with dementia, and take care of her for the next 10 yrs. Her mother crossed over in 2019. Rebecca had an empathetic heart and spoke out against social injustice and racism. She was intelligent and spoke fluent Spanish. She loved the Spanish culture. She was always willing to lend a helping hand when needed.
On May 5, 2021, this bright light was extinguished at 12:10 A.M. on Cinco de Mayo. She leaves to morn her passing a loving husband Charlie Bauer; paternal sisters Cindy Ray Guy, Linda Robin Guy; brother Richard Guy (Raymond Allen Guy proceeded her in death) and a host of nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends.
There will be a retrospective of Rebecca’s works at the Bath House Cultural Center at 521 E Lawther Dr, Dallas, TX 75218, June 8 – July 17. 2021. A reception/memorial for Rebecca will be held on June 12, 2021 from 7 to 9 pm. Please RSVP at charlie@onyzx.com or tech@queenoflight.org The reception will not be open to the general public.
