Coastlands: At the Boundary of Light

June 19 - August 01,2020

"With her impressionist oil paintings gracing the collections of museums and private collectors alike, Virginia “V….” Vaughan’s work focuses on special projects that are heartfelt and comprehensive, treating her subjects to documentary style study. Painting on location all across the U.S., her plein air creations are purposeful, depicting the environments and locations she loves. “My favorite subjects are wild places and around the countryside near the Texas Coast and America's small farms," said Vaughan. “I paint because it’s the best way I know how to communicate, study and observe God’s creative work, and to think His thoughts after Him.” Vaughan will be the first featured exhibition following the May 1 reopening of Rockport Center for the Arts. The June 19–August 1 show will feature a variety of V….Vaughan’s works, including her piece selected as the poster art for this year’s Rockport Art Festival, scheduled for July 4–5, 2020. There will be a public unveiling of the piece along with an artist gallery talk, reception and poster signing on Saturday, June 20, from 4–7 p.m. The original work will then be sold at the live Summer Art Auction 2020 on Thursday, July 2, kicking off Art Festival weekend; this year there will be an online auction element along with the in-person event being held at the Estelle Stair Gallery. Posters will be available for sale at the gallery as well as on-site at the Art Festival Store during event weekend."
