Making A Mark
Women in Early Texas Art
August 15 – November 30, 2025
Far from encyclopedic, Making a Mark celebrates a small number of women artists who were active and influential in Texas from the latter part of the nineteenth century through the end of the twentieth century.
While the 17 highlighted artists certainly worked in a broad spectrum of media, the exhibition focuses solely on works on paper. Within that scope, however, the artworks include a variety of printmaking techniques as well as the direct application of ink, watercolor, pastel and litho crayon on paper.
The artists featured are Emma Richardson Cherry, Marilyn Miller Kincheloe, Julya Kirkpatrick, Kathleen Lawrence, Mary Lightfoot, Verda Ligon, Josephine Mahaffey, Toni LaSelle, Constance Forsyth, Barbara Maples, Josephine Oliver, Janet Turner, Bertha Landers, Mary Bonner, Coreen Spellman, Kathleen Blackshear, and Rosalie Speed.
