MARY BAXTER (b. 1963)

Mary Baxter has always had a keen interest in art, perhaps stemming from childhood on family camping trips to the Chihuahuan Desert. She pursued her passion at the University of Texas at San Antonio, where she studied painting and advanced printmaking and earned her bachelor of science degree. Fully self-financing her studies, Baxter worked across the country on the high goal polo circuit.

Baxter moved to the Big Bend region when she leased a ranch Southwest of Marfa for raising cattle and training horses. It was there that she began to see the beauty of the rugged desert and interpret it in her paintings. After several years, she was able to free herself of ranch duties to paint full time.

She relocated to Marathon and opened the Baxter Studio and Gallery in the old Shoemake Hardware Building where she continued to produce and sell her works for ten years. Now she resides and works in Marfa, embarking on camping trips in remote places on friends’ ranches or in the Big Bend National Park, where she creates her smaller, plein air paintings. There she gathers ideas and sketches for larger pieces which she later creates in her studio. This approach has helped Baxter truly convey the beauty of the Texas landscape.

DAVID CATON (b. 1955)

David Caton is a painter whose work spans three decades of exploring landscape, still life, architectural, and mythological painting. Caton began to study painting during his high school years in Houston. He earned his BFA from the University of Houston and completed his MFA graduate studies at Yale University.

Throughout his early years, Caton exhibited regularly and was invited to be in group shows. He has since had numerous solo exhibitions, and his paintings are featured in corporate and private collections across the country.

Caton has a close affinity for the terrain of the west, especially that of the Big Bend region of Texas and the states of Utah and Arizona. He travels to these areas regularly to gather plein air painting material for future paintings. He usually executes studies in oil or pastel before completing the larger canvases. His refined technique and love for depicting the grandeur and drama that exist in nature have generated works that are both monumental and compelling.

Originally from New Orleans, Margie Crisp resides in Elgin, just east of Austin, with her husband and fellow artist William Montgomery.

An award-winning author, Crisp divides her time between writing and creating art. Currently her primary mediums are egg tempera paintings on panel (often embellished with 24k gold leaf) and printmaking including linocuts and lithographs. She finds working in the traditional medium of egg tempera a meditative process and enjoys working with the dry pigments, mixing in egg yolk to produce the quickdrying and durable paint.

While birds are one of the primary subjects in her art, she does not consider herself a bird artist. She explains that birds are prevalent, abundant, and familiar. They inhabit the same spaces as people and are bold enough to confront them. She feels that the moment of communion between species compels her to repeatedly draw, paint, and print birds.

Crisp describes her own work as grounded in reality: the particular, the focused, the well-observed, or the specifically-imagined.

FIDENCIO DURAN (b. 1961)

Fidencio Duran tells visual stories that honor the history of his family and community. These stories spring from recollections of his father’s storytelling. “My dad used to tell us small parables about the consequences of being greedy or other moral lessons. He also wanted us to know where we came from, and all those old stories stuck with me.”

Duran’s artwork appears in public and private collections in the United States and abroad and his works have been exhibited by prestigious museums throughout the country Duran has the distinction of being the only artist to receive all three Dallas Museum of Art Awards to Artists. One of his most prominent works, The Visit, graces the length of the ticket counter at Austin Bergstrom International Airport.

A recent series combines landscapes, nature, and found objects as metaphors for our human need for community and shelter. They espouse the value of living in close relation to the earth.

PAT GABRIEL (b. 1960)

Pat Gabriel began drawing and sculpting as a child but became much more serious about producing art during his teenage years. At age fourteen, he met Yan Macs, a Latvian-born painter, and re-established his inspirational compass. He began working with acrylic paints and producing highly detailed paintings. After he graduated, Gabriel immediately began working as a commercial artist and started moving his way up in the advertising field. Although the commitments of his daily life limit his time, the direction and quality of Gabriel’s work matured over time and he later began working with oils and studying mainly European artists.

Gabriel is greatly inspired by clouds and what they do to light; he often paints the transformation of light and color frequently seen in the Texas landscape. In addition, he draws inspiration from plant life and keeps an elaborate garden. Working slowly, Gabriel spends quite a bit of time considering what to paint and says that many of his paintings are symbolic or perhaps allegorical. Highlighting the collision of nature and man-made elements, he creates figurative painting through landscape imagery.

In most cases, Gabriel begins with small idea sketches, working on many ideas at once. He photographs subjects of interest and then edits the images to create a final painting reference. His greatest aspiration is to make the viewer experience the same feelings he had while he was painting. Bringing the awe he experienced when he noticed the shifts of light in the morning sky to his pieces, Gabriel conveys ideas that are personal to him but are universal to his audiences.

BILLY HASSELL (b. 1956)

Fort Worth-based fine artist Billy Hassell, who was recently referred to as “Mother Nature’s Stylist” by The New York Times, has been showing his artwork since the 1980s in galleries across the country. His bold colors and patterns inspired by nature have captured the imagination of collectors throughout the nation. Few artists use color as effectively as Hassell, and his graphically illustrative style contributes to his work’s emotional punch. Elite museums in Texas such as the Dallas Museum of Art, the Modern in Fort Worth, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, and the Menil Collection in Houston, among others, have acquired Hassell’s oil paintings for their permanent collections. His works also hang in many other public art collections including a U.S. Embassy, the University of Texas, the offices of HBO, and the George W. Bush Presidential Center.

National art magazines such as Art News, Southwest Art, The New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal have featured Hassell’s paintings as well as many regional publications including the Dallas Morning News, the Houston Chronicle, the Fort Worth Star Telegram, D magazine, and 360 West. His artwork has also been displayed on several television shows.

Because of his dedication to conservation, Hassell has donated art throughout his career to conservation organizations. The Nature Conservancy, Ocean Conservation, and Audubon have used his artwork to raise money for environmental causes and celebrate the beauty of nature.

A unique passion is printmaking—in particular, lithographs. Hassell has collaborated with a number of master printers to produce a sizeable number of color lithographs. This increasingly rare and labor-intensive form of printmaking has been, and continues to be, sought after by collectors internationally.

His talents are not limited to the canvas. Hassell has produced and designed large-scale stained-glass murals, one of which is a large floor medallion for the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport; another, a 50 foot mural at a fire station in Fort Worth. He has also worked on various public art projects.

Academia has been an ongoing interest throughout his life. Hassell earned his BFA from Notre Dame, followed by his MFA from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. Upon completion of his graduate degree, Notre Dame invited him back as a professor to teach etching and watercolor. He has also taught a variety of art classes—painting, drawing, printmaking, and

studio practices—at universities including Davidson College in North Carolina.

Hassell is regularly invited to people’s ranches and other landscapes across the country, as well as out of the country, to capture the unique beauty of private places for their owners. Most recently, he completed a mural at a ranch in the Texas Hill Country that was featured in the Wall Street Journal. Today, Hassell’s work continues to show the natural world charged with life, energy, and movement. On canvases that loom larger than life, both in size and vibrancy of subject, his distinctive use of color and stylized natural elements and animals reveal why he has become such a highly-respected painter.

Otis Huband was born in 1933 in Fredericksburg, Virginia. He studied art at Virginia Commonwealth University and, after a tour of duty in the Navy, attended the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland. He returned to complete both his undergraduate and graduate degrees at Virginia Commonwealth University and then travelled to Italy to study at the Academia de Bella Arta in Perugia.

Huband returned from Europe in 1964 and moved to Houston the following year. Upon his arrival, he bypassed the local gallery scene by choice, opting instead to concentrate most of his time in his studio. In addition, he also worked as an art instructor at the University of Houston, the Museum (now Glassell) School of Art, Rice University, and the Art League of Houston.

Mostly self-taught, Jackson began creating work at the age of 11 and has been exhibiting and curating since the age of 16. He has assisted and been mentored by prominent Houston artists Angelbert Metoyer, J. Antonio Farfan, Robert Hodge, and Lovie Olivia. His research into the “Masters of Color,” such as Matisse, Warhol, and Gauguin has been an inspiration serving his exploration of color. His research and interpretation of tribal language and symbolism has led him to create imagery that is all his own.

Ibsen Espada

American, b. 1952

Ibsen Espada is a painter born in New York and raised in Puerto Rico. At the age of twelve he was introduced to prolific Cuban artist Rolando Lopez Dirube, with whom he studied under and took a position as apprentice for several years. After receiving his BFA in 1975 from the University of the Sacred Heart in Santurce, Puerto Rico, Espada traveled to Beaumont, Texas to visit his parents, where he decided to live and work for a time before moving to Houston to continue his art studies at the Glassell School of Art. Beginning in printmaking and exploring painting and sculpture, Espada studied and apprenticed under Houston artist Dorothy Hood. While at the Glassell, he earned a number of awards including the Frank Freed Memorial Award in 1977 and the T.R. Curtis Memorial Award in 1978. Espada is a part of the ‘Houston School’ of artists and was included in the 1985 exhibition Fresh Paint: The Houston, School at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. His work was also recognized and included in the highlypublicized 1987 exhibition Hispanic Art in the United States: 30 Contemporary Painters and Sculptors which debuted at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston before embarking on a 4-city tour to the Lowe Museum in Miami, the Museum of Fine Arts in Santa Fe, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Espada continues to create in his Houston studio, where he works on several works at once, often following a ritual in which he creates works, dissects them, and puts them back together, often weaving fragments together and collaging them on Okawara Rice paper or canvas. He has been recognized at one of the most prolific Latin artists working in Texas today and his work can be seen in museum collections such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, The Art Museum of Southeast Texas in Beaumont, and the Art Museum of South Texas in Corpus Christi.

WILLIAM B. MONTGOMERY (b. 1953)

William Montgomery is a painter and printmaker who lives near Elgin, just east of Austin. Born and raised in Tyler, he studied art at the Kansas City Art Institute and the University of New Mexico. While studying at the Academia de Belle Arti de Perugia in Italy, Montgomery developed an interest in classical European painting which had a major influence on his painting technique as well as his approach to subject matter. A life-long fascination with nature is a continuing influence and his current work explores animals in their environments, particularly their convergence with civilization.

Montgomery is also an accomplished printmaker. His twin interests in natural history and traditional etching techniques contribute to skilled and sometimes humorous prints, mainly of Texas and its residents. His scientifically-precise etchings of snakes have appeared on the covers of a number of important herpetology books.

Montgomery has recently finished a series of paintings about the Nueces River of Texas which are included in an award-winning book that he collaborated on with his wife, author and artist, Margie Crisp.

Noe Perez was born and raised in Falfurrias, Texas. Interested in art from a young age, Perez’s artistic education began in his early teens as he studied with various local artists. Despite his love of art, he chose to major in engineering. Perez earned his Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering at Texas A&I University and he continues to work in that field today.

Unwilling to put aside his intense interest in art, Perez has continued to advance his artistic abilities, attending plein air painting workshops with Plein-Air Painters of America artists Ron Rencher, George Strickland, and Michael Workman. Much of his work is done in the studio from photographs and plein air studies.

Perez believes that plein air painting is an essential exercise for any landscape painter and he paints outdoors whenever possible. He paints the South Texas landscape dusty terrain dotted with low brush and cactus in bright sunlight using beautifully realistic colors that are equally muted and vibrant.

Noe Perez is a master at capturing the beauty and essence of South Texas from San Antonio to the Rio Grande.

JERI SALTER (b. 1955)

Originally from Richmond, Virginia, Jeri Salter has lived all over Texas—in Houston, McAllen, Plano, Lago Vista, and currently Round Rock. A self-taught artist, she has honed her skills over the years through various classes and workshops, focusing her talent on pastel landscapes.

Salter’s paintings derive their inspiration from the vast beauty in nature, highlighting the open skies and rolling plains of the Texas landscape. She has found similar beauty in rural buildings and roadways during her travels. She describes her landscapes as having remnants of humanity, captured in the scenes that feature derelict buildings and worn dirt roads. In painting these ordinary scenes, she tries to convey an appreciation of the natural beauty and the emotional sense of “searching” evoked therein.

RICHARD GORDON STOUT (b 1934)

Richard Stout was born in 1934 in Beaumont, Texas. He quickly discovered his interest in art and, while still in high school, studied at the Art Academy of Cincinnati during summer visits with family in Ohio. Stout received a scholarship to attend the School of Art at the Art Institute of Chicago, where he earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA). He completed graduate studies and earned his Master of Fine Arts (MFA) at the University of Texas at Austin. From 1959 to 1967, Stout was an instructor at the Museum School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. After completing his MFA, he began teaching art at the University of Houston, a career he maintained until his retirement in 1996. Stout was named Texas Artist of the Year in 2004 by the Art League of Houston and, in 2010, received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Center for the Advancement and Study of Early Texas Art (CASETA). He resides in Houston, Texas.

WILLIAM YOUNG

William Young paints full-time at his studio in the Piney Woods of East Texas, in Palestine. His formal art training included drawing and printmaking courses at the University of Dallas, East Texas State University and Steven F. Austin State University. Young also studied painting with Ancel Nunn and helped in the printing of several of Nunn’s stone-pulled lithographs.

Young’s paintings, etchings and drawings all have a surreal undercurrent, derived from a combination of experience painting under Nunn’s tutelage and his personal inclination for the enigmatic and often strange folklore of Texas. A variety of his works are created as a visual homage to these Lone Star folk stories, while other works are created purely from lyrics of songs that inspire him.

Young’s first art show was as the Temple Emanu-el Art Festival in 1976 where his etching the Last Letter was judged best-in-show by a panel of judges that included Harry Parker, then Director of the Dallas Museum of Art. Since then, Young has pursued both a fine art and commercial art career. His paintings, etchings and drawings are included in many private collections.
