ABOUT SHARON WARWAS

Sharon Warwas is a highly-certified and deeply-experienced Pilates instructor with over two decades of dedication to the transformative power of movement.

‍

Her teaching journey began in 2005 when she received her foundational Peak Pilates certification. In 2011, her expertise was broadened with an additional certification from Body Arts and Science International (BASI), integrating both classical and contemporary methodologies into her repertoire.

‍

Sharon's extensive career includes a strong clinical focus, having worked closely with a chiropractor since 2006. As a result of this collaboration, she has been able to specialize in curating personalized programs and guiding clients with diverse fitness needs, injuries, and conditions. She has taught in various settings, both group and one-on-one, and currently runs her own studio, Custom Fit Pilates.

‍

Her commitment to education also extends to institutions, including teaching at the Houston Ballet Academy’s summer programs (2018–2019) and partnering with medical professionals like the "Lifestyle Docs" (Dr.s Bandana and Munish Chawla, 2024-present) to educate on the mind-body connection fostered by Pilates. Throughout the years she also taught in various group and corporate fitness settings.

‍

A Personal Approach to Transformation

Sharon's teaching has been profoundly affected by her own wellness journey. Actively addressing her lordosis and scoliosis through Pilates, she reframes what others may call “limitations" into a powerful source of transformation and insight. This journey has been helpful with clients to conquer and overcome injuries and achieve goals, witnessing the powerful role Pilates plays in holistic health.

‍

This follows her belief that everybody holds the power to achieve overall mental, physical, and spiritual well-being, and she always looks forward to guiding participants in finding alignment, strength, and overall well-being through mindful movement.

‍

Of her limited-time course at Color Factory Houston, Sharon says, "I am beyond stoked for this collaboration!"

A Tribute to New York’s Most Magical Sunset

Coined by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, the phenomenon known as “Manhattanhenge” occurs only twice a year when the setting summer sun magically aligns with the gridded east-west streets of the island. The silvery skyscrapers lining these streets act like the pillars of Stonehenge—vertically framing the horizon and reflecting its colors in a stunning symphony of symmetry and sunset shades. On these rare summer nights, thousands of New Yorkers gather along 14th, 23rd, 34th, 42nd, and 57th Streets to witness this spectacle of burning oranges, bright pinks, and shocking purples as a simultaneous hush falls over the city that never sleeps.

• May 29th at 8:20 p.m. - Full Sun

This Hispanic Heritage Month: Meet the founders of JZD

Happy National Hispanic Heritage Month! To celebrate, we're taking a minute to highlight and chat with our partners JZD - a Latina-owned lifestyle brand founded by Texas natives Jennifer Serrano and Veronica Vasquez. We're inspire by their mission to create products that build community and celebrate culture.

‍

What’s your favorite part about running JZD?

Our favorite part of running JZD is getting to create for our community and working with our family! It's truly a dream to work with my parents and wife every single day.

‍

What inspired you to create JZD?

JZD started out as an Etsy shop back in 2016 because we felt like we needed a reminder of our power. Our first successful product is the now iconic Latina Power Tee.

‍

Where do you find your inspiration?

Our community! Everything that JZD does and every single item that we put out is with our community in mind. We love creating pieces that make our customers say “Wow! That’s me!” or “This reminds me of my abuela!”

‍

What “dichos” is your favorite?

All time favorite forever and ever is, "no pasa nada." It's a dicho that has been with me my entire life and it has become a way of living.

‍

What does being Latinx mean to you?

Being Latinx means celebrating our beautiful culture, languages, and histories that connect our diverse communities. It’s about honoring traditions, embracing the vibrancy of our heritage, and recognizing the challenges and resilience of our ancestors. It also means finding strength in our shared experiences while appreciating individual stories. Ultimately, it’s a commitment to cultural pride and a call for unity among all Latinx voices.

‍

What’s next for JZD?

We are so excited to continue to grow our community! We also have some really exciting partnerships launching in 2025 that we cannot wait to share! Most importantly we plan to continue to empower our community and create products that represent us.

‍

You can find pieces from their collection in our Color Shops onsite and online.

More Art. More Color.

The color continues with our refreshed Color Factory New York neighborhood map! We’ve curated 10 more surprises for you across downtown Manhattan.

‍

Get your aura read, take a bite out of a rainbow, or swing into the NYC sunset. Roam from one place to the next, discover surprises, and collect keepsakes—all at your own pace. As you wander, pay attention to the shades that surround you and see if you can spot some of the sites that inspired the colors in our palette.

Color Factory is thrilled to announce a transformative partnership with EnChroma, a pioneer in color accessibility technology. Through the EnChroma Color Accessibility Program™, EnChroma glasses are now available for guests with red-green color blindness to borrow during their time at the experience, free of charge. This collaboration marks a significant stride in Color Factory’s ongoing commitment to inclusivity and bringing the joy of color to as many people as possible. 

‍

We are seeking volunteers who are red-green color blind to experience EnChroma glasses in person at our Houston location on April 24, 2024. 

‍

Color Factory Houston is hosting an event and looking for red-green color blind volunteers to use EnChroma glasses for the very first time. Media and Press will be on hand to capture these moments and speak with the volunteers throughout the experience. If you are red-green color blind or know someone who is, please click here to fill out a brief volunteer background form. For question #3 (“Media Opportunity”), add that you’re volunteering to try the glasses at COLOR FACTORY. Applications will close Monday, April 15th.

‍

Volunteers must be available to attend the event at Color Factory Houston on April 24th from 10am-12pm CST. Note that this is a volunteer experience and travel costs will not be covered. 

‍

About EnChroma Glasses:

EnChroma glasses use special optical filters that help the color blind see an expanded range of color and to see it more clearly, vibrantly and distinctly. The glasses are the product of two NIH research grants and clinical trials at UC Berkeley and UC Davis. Read this recent study by UC Davis on the effectiveness of our glasses. Importantly, the glasses are not a cure for color blindness and work for 8 out of 10 red-green color blind people. Results and reaction times vary. A color blind wearer must have all three of their “color cones” in the retina working properly to benefit.

‍

Volunteers selected will be notified in advance.

More Art. More Color. For Everyone.

Color Factory is proud to be a part of the EnChroma Color Accessibility Program™ (CAP), offering EnChroma’s revolutionary glasses for color blindness across all of our locations. As part of our ongoing dedication to inclusion and accessibility, we’re excited for more visitors to experience the joy of color through EnChroma technology that helps reveal deeper, richer, and crisper hues.

‍

Color blindness affects over 13 million people in the US and about 4% of the population. Also known as color vision deficiency (CVD), it is a reduced ability to distinguish between colors when compared to the standard for normal human color vision. People with CVD usually have difficulty distinguishing between certain colors such as yellow and orange, green and brown, pink and gray, or blue and purple. 

‍

While people with normal color vision see over one million shades of color, those with color vision deficiency only see about 10% those hues and shades. As a result, their world view is dull and less vibrant, with some colors appearing muddled, muted, washed out or indistinguishable. To them, purple looks blue, red seems brown, gray appears pink, and green and yellow can look similar. The color blind can struggle to see the red in a flower, the variation of colors in a rainbow, a painting, the true hair or eye color of a loved one, red and green stoplights and more. In viewing artwork, the color blind may struggle to see some colors. In school, the condition can cause frustration and challenges in learning. Here are some examples of how the color blind see:

‍

EnChroma glasses enable people to see an expanded range of clear, vibrant, distinct color and enjoy enhanced detail and depth perception.

How EnChroma Glasses Work

We’re celebrating PRIDE today and every day here at Color Factory.

This June, we partnered with designer Ry Macarayan on a custom illustration inspiring us to LIVE IN COLOR.  

Ry is an illustrator and designer currently based in Seattle, WA. They are strategic in their work, often using clean and minimal forms, but is unafraid of bold colors, soft textures, and refreshing compositions. Their style is a perfect example of organic shapes living in a digital world.

What does it mean to LIVE IN COLOR?

“It means finding your people and seeing how enriching and powerful it is to be surrounded by community. It means living outside of binary structures taught to us and seeing how beautiful life can be when you are able to experiment, play, and find joy in being yourself."

- Ry Macarayan

We’re celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islanders Month here at Color Factory!

‍

This month we’re partnering with Mochi Kids! We’ve admired Amanda Stewart for a long time with her adorable, kid-friendly (and parent approved!) designs paired with her dedication to social responsibility. She has built her brand by lifting up other small businesses, sourcing and producing her line with a locally, female-owned manufacturer, and using her platform to raise awareness for issues important to her (and to all humans!) along the way. We think you and your kiddos will love these special pieces designed just for us in the Color Shop!

Grab your rhinestone cowboy boots and hit the (silent) disco dance floor! We’re bringing one of our most beloved installations to Color Factory Houston. “A Royal (Disco) Ball” is the newest attraction at our popular interactive art exhibit located in Upper Kirby. 

‍

Color Factory Houston has always been known for its visually stunning installations, but now visitors can also engage with the art in a new way: through dance! “A Royal (Disco) Ball” celebrates the greatest, Texas-born women artists of our time. That’s right, the QUEENS of the charts (and our hearts from) Selena and Megan Thee Stallion to Houston’s own Beyoncé and Lizzo! 

‍

Our all-purple palace is an ode to female empowerment and these hometown heroines. Don a pair of headphones, turn up the volume, channel your inner star, and dance until your heart goes “bidi bidi bom bom.”

‍

‍

But…the fun doesn't stop there! Try to spot the secret room hidden amidst the lavender hues.  Inside, you'll discover a fun surprise that will make your day a little brighter. 

‍

Visitors to the Houston Color Factory are encouraged to wear comfortable shoes and clothing, as the dance floor is meant to be an active space. The exhibit is also open to all ages, making it a fun activity for families and friends.

‍

We’re excited to begin to announce our artist features for our Chicago location, coming late this Spring. In our new lobby, we’re working with Puerto-Rican born and Chicago-based artist @edrasoto to display our city color palette in a fresh way. Edra is creating a site-specific iteration of her GRAFT series: guests will peer through viewfinders in the installation to discover the photos that inspired each color in the palette.

‍

The artist has attended residency programs at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Beta-Local, the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation Residency, Headlands Center for the Arts, Project Row Houses and Art Omi, among others. Soto has been awarded the Efroymson Contemporary Arts Fellowship, the Illinois Arts Council Agency Fellowship, the inaugural Foundwork Artist Prize and the Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters & Sculptors Grant, among others. Between 2019-2020, Soto exhibited and traveled to Brazil, Puerto Rico, and Cuba as part of the MacArthur Foundation’s International Connections Fund. Soto holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a bachelor’s degree from Escuela de Artes Plásticas y Diseño de Puerto Rico. The artist lives and works in Chicago.

‍

We can’t wait to see Soto’s work come to life at Color Factory Chicago!
