• The Big Bend of Texas: Interpretations by Seven Artists • Few places are more splendid than the Texas Big Bend. It is a grand and spirited country. Remote and far away, its lands possess a stark beauty which reads as high, wide and rugged. Brusque mountains, chiseled arroyos and high desert terrain merge to create alluring compositions in virtually every direction. The scenes at hand grow even more inviting in the fall. The air hangs softer and the autumnal light glows more gently, deftly blending subtle hues of azure with pale yellows, reds and gold, forming a rich patina that illuminates the surrounding vistas. Possessed of such natural glories, the Big Bend has been a point of destination for Texas painters for as long as art has coexisted in our state, but the land seems to issue its strongest calls and beckons to Lone Star artists most profoundly in the fall. As fall also approaches the Bayou City, we felt it appropriate to share and celebrate the seasonal bounties of the Big Bend region with local friends and patrons. Thus, in a standout exhibition entitled The Big Bend of Texas we present the exquisite renditions of seven indigenous artists, all have been inspired to capture the beauty and character of this most distant corner of the state. The show fetes viewers to a treasure trove of finely finished works from the studios of these stellar artists, and likewise unveils a lively selection of freshly-painted, pleinair sketches by a subgroup of these painters, all just returning from yet another sojourn to the Texas Big Bend. The Big Bend of Texas brings together many of the most accomplished landscape artists working in this area of the state. It includes a remarkable assemblage of paintings by Texas artists Mary Baxter (Marfa), David Caton (Utopia), Pat Gabriel (Fort Worth), Noe Perez (Corpus Christi) and Jeri Salter (Round Rock), all members of the gallery’s august society of Contemporary Texas Regionalists. In addition, the show introduces Houstonians to the incredible, large-scale drawings of Jim Malone
(Fort Worth), as well as presenting iconic imagery by well-known photographer, Michael H. Marvins (Houston). Over fifty Big Bend inspired works are on view in the exhibition. In addition to the main installation of finished works, the gallery will also host patrons for an opening-day salon-style revealing, providing a unique exhibition within an exhibition experience, presenting (and discussing) recent plein-air paintings by four of the subject artists. Artists Baxter, Caton, Perez and Salter will unveil and discuss their most recent cache of plein-air studies, all being Big Bend views captured in their collective painting trip scheduled there the week prior to the show’s opening. The artists will hang and discuss these new works on opening day. This impromptu format will afford viewers a unique opportunity to view fresh, off-the-easel renditions, as well as garner first-hand insights into the artists’ experiences with and approaches to painting the Big Bend country. All-in-all, The Big Bend of Texas offers patrons a dramatic visual journey, beautifully accentuating the stunning qualities of this distinctive region of Texas in superbly executed artworks. The selections underscore the extraordinary talents of the participating artists and fulfill the objective of bringing the sensations of the Big Bend to the lush fall plains of Bayou City. It is an exhibition well worth the time of all Houstonians. Replete with great Texas landscapes, this show will absolutely appeal to those fortunate enough to already know the delights of this distinctive sector; and for those less fortunate, it will no doubt serve to motivate them to go experience it for themselves. Such is the beauty and influence of art! -Bill Reaves, Sarah Foltz & Mary Margaret Kinnan William Reaves Fine Art

MARY BAXTER Mary Baxter has always had a keen interest in art, particularly as a result of 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 selffinancing 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. There, she continued to produce and sell her works for ten years. Baxter currently resides and works in Marfa, using a vintage Silver Streak trailer to live in more remote locations where she creates some of her smaller, plein air paintings. She frequently gathers ideas and sketches for larger pieces which she finishes later in her studio. This approach has helped Baxter truly convey the beauty of the Texas landscape.

DAVID CATON 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.

NOE PEREZ 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 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 Rechner and George Strickland. 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 Corpus Christi to the Rio Grande.

JERI SALTER Originally from Richmond, Virginia, Jeri Salter has lived all over Texas– Houston, McAllen, Plano, Lago Vista, and currently, Round Rock. A selftaught artist, Salter honed her skills over the years through various classes and workshops, focusing her talent on pastel landscapes. Her paintings often parallel images from early Texas artist Frank Reaugh as she derives her inspiration from the vast beauty in nature, highlighting the open skies and rolling plains of the Texas landscape. Most recently, she has found similar beauty in rural buildings and roadways. Salter 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.
