ARTS Exhibit

Artists Debbie Little Wilson and Mary Fisher combined their whimsical works for a magical evening at ARTS last Saturday. The works of Debbie Little Wilson showcase the enduring strength of women. Pioneer women, women aviators and cowgirls exhibit strength on a background of preloved vintage images.

Fischer’s love of architecture shines through in her carefully crafted pieces showing movement and playfulness. Together, these works complement each other perfectly, allowing for the viewer to take in an exhibit that melds together naturally. This mustsee exhibit runs through July 29.

ARTS Students

Brenham High School art teacher Stephen Henry has taught ARTS students Avery Dennis and Emersen Linn watercolor techniques that have resulted in paintings highlighting the unique vision of these young, talented artists.
