Cathy Sue Munson paints intricately detailed watercolor and gouache paintings, specializing in wildlife, longhorn cattle, western subjects and commissioned dog portraiture. 

She graduated from the University of Texas with a Bachelor of Fine Art degree, with honors, in Studio Art. She was featured in an article on outstanding canine artists in the April 2008 issue of Southwest Art Magazine.   The artist is widely recognized for her commissioned artwork for the University of Texas Athletics and Texas Exes alumni of their longhorn mascots, Bevo IX through current Bevo XV.  The paintings are on display in the Silver Spurs Museum at the football stadium.

Joanne Lavender is an impressionist painter.  She paints the open spaces of the West with simple abstract shapes and values that reflect her early training in graphic design.  She chooses to compose her representation of the land emphasizing the quality of light that defines the shapes before her, rather than execute a literal copy of what she sees.

Karen Ann Hitt is an award-winning artist, classically trained at Parson’s School of Design in New York.  That classic background is ever evident in her style, along with her love of capturing the figure and the effects of light in all of her scenes. Her paintings are noted to accentuate the effects of light, adding to their luminosity.   Her landscapes and skyscapes reflect the essence of the landmark.

Linda Eppinger Johnson was born and raised on the front range of the Rocky Mountains. The diverse ecosystem influenced her western and botanical paintings, pottery and tiles/murals.

Linda uses her own experiences when creating her art. Sagebrush, wildflowers and even horned toads are in the hills of her front yard and find their way into her paintings and pottery.

Rose Irelan is inspired by the diverse landscapes of the coast, desert, and mountains. Her paintings capture the energy and changing light of the natural world, using expressive brushwork and a deep appreciation for color. Whether painting the rugged shoreline, the quiet beauty of a desert morning, or towering mountains, she strives to convey the feeling of a moment rather than just a scene.

Carolyn C. Bell, an award–winning Texas artist, fell in love with the southwest’s vast landscape upon moving to Texas at the age of eight.  Her love of the southwest landscape has been translated into many artworks that depict the myriad colors, rocks, and foliage that has caught her eye and heart.  Southwestern Spanish architecture and the Spanish missions of Texas and New Mexico are also cherished subjects, along with florals, wildlife and still life.
