in the beginning
In the early years before the dotcom bubble burst, Photographer Fulton Davenport decided to give consumers something new. Starting a company targeted towards mixing the disciplines of photography, design and video, Painting With Light came about in 1997. Later, the name was shortened to PWL Studio.

“you cannot govern the creative impulse; all you can do is to eliminate obstacles and smooth the way for it.” – kimon nicoliades
Fulton’s the strikingly handsome President of PWL Studio. He’s known to most as this city’s most respected and requested photographer.
1/2 Horned Frog (TCU – Economics and Art) and 1/2 Florida Gator (Master of Fine Arts), he leads our course with expertise, pride and desire. It is his dedication to excellence that inspires our firm to strive for global creative dominance (one ad campaign at a time!)
And if by some miracle Fulton is not spanning the globe capturing the images of people, places & things, or building multi-million dollar homes, you can find him and his wife (see below) hunting, fishing and generally hiding out at their ranch in the beautiful Texas Hill Country in Llano, Texas.

“one day you're in, next day you're out…” – heidi klum
Reece credits travel around the world as being her best teacher. “I love throwing myself into a culture and allowing the adventure to lure me in and take control.”
Her self-given title of “Text Toy” tickles the sense of humor of our Weaver of Word. Her creativity drives our advertising and marketing strategies (and her cooking fills our hunger on those “midnight oil” burning deadlines).
With her sensational ability to always create the right tag line, she always keeps PWL distinctive.
She’s our Head Cheerleader, Resident Chef, Part-time Model, Wordsmith and Creative Director.

“graphic design is the paradise of individuality, eccentricity, heresy, abnormality, hobbies and humours.” – george santayana
Christopher loves great web and graphic design. There’s no other way to say it. He’s always tweaking, kerning and leading. That’s a lot of -ings. He’s there with an opinion on design trends, new technology for the web and anything else he can get his hands on! He’s also the de facto IT department and is sure to be ready if things go haywire.
When he’s not in the office working on a new website or layout, he can be found browsing the design section of our local Borders book store or drooling at the Galleria Apple Store over the latest must-have item to come out of Cupertino.

“advertising is selling twinkies™ to adults.” – donald r. vance
Having been involved in everything from research to execution, she enjoys every aspect of the ad business. Even though Selena has found her niche, studio art is her first love; when she has the time you might catch her painting while plugged in to her iPod Nano.
Most mornings she stops by Starbucks on West Gray then sneaks a donut at Christy’s Donuts before pulling up to the studio, and if you’re in the same area around 5PM you might see her joining her friends for happy-hour.

“it's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.” – henry david thoreau
It all started with a TMNT disposable camera. These days Dikka lives the life of a crime fighting photographer and graphic designer, crusading against the malevolent forces behind tacky design.
Hailing from Indonesia, he moved to Houston to earn a Graphic Design degree from AiH. You can easily find his flash going off around town at Houston’s social events.
The best parts about Dikka are his sense of humor and his contagious energy. During his downtime you’ll find him ripping chords on his guitar and writing music for his one man band, AKKID.
