WACO, TX (PNAN) – On view through Friday, October 31, 2025, in the Beard Gallery at the Waco Art Center, “In Her Element” brings together five distinctive voices from artist members of Women & Their Work, an Austin-based organization dedicated to advancing women artists.
Featuring Tara Eales, Amy Twomey, Philana Oliphant, Georgie Miller, and Valerie Fowler, the exhibition showcases the dynamic range of voices of contemporary art practice in Texas.
Each artist explores their own creative territory through experimental materials, bold conceptual ideas, or unexpected visual narratives. Together, their works create a dynamic conversation about what it means to be fully immersed in one’s artistic practice today.
In the newly-established Flora Cameron Gallery, the exhibition, “Sense of Place” is on view through January 2026. Twenty works from its collection marks the first public showing of its holdings.
The exhibition centers on the American Southwest, long recognized for its luminous skies, resilient landscapes, and layered cultural history. Through paintings and works on paper by artists such as Gustave Baumann, Nicolai Fechin, Norma Bassett Hall, Marc Chagall, and Larry Bell, the show reflects how the land and its people inspired both local voices and visitors drawn to Taos and its surrounding valleys.
