Danville Chadbourne |
Primarily a sculptor in clay and
wood, Danville Chadbourne works in a range of
materials and in both two- and three-dimensional
formats. Over the years he has created a complex
body of work unified by a primal iconography and
artifact-like quality emerging from a very personal
and consistent formal, aesthetic and philosophical
sense.
Chadbourne has exhibited extensively at both state
and national levels, including more than 50
one-person exhibitions. His work is included in
numerous private and public collections.
He has lived in San Antonio, Texas since 1979.

Leigh Anne Lester |
I am interested in the idea of
control in ones environment. What is expendable?
What has changed in the things that we take for
granted? How are we transformed by these changes
that we manipulated or are mutated as a result of
our influence, good or bad? Will we remember the
lost or the former incarnation of that image/object,
does it have a persistence of memory in our cultural
and biological environment? The identifiable aspects
of those images are there but they aren’t the same
below the surface. I hope to somehow capture the
progression of time to slow it down, to ask the
viewers to pause and think about the changes in
these forms and consider their potential loss and/or
new incarnation.
Lester explores the possibilities of Genetic
Modification through semi-transparent layered
drawings on Mylar as well as sculptural plants that
are hand sewn clear plastic vinyl. The images in the
drawings are historical botanicals from the eras of
discovery in the science of botany. The sculptures
are amalgamations of plants that are incongruous.

Jayne Lawrence |
Jayne Lawrence is a mixed media
artist specializing in sculpture and drawing.
Lawrence’s 2000-2007 clothing series addresses
specific gender assumptions, concepts, values and/or
practices that Americans share based on the
information they assimilate as children. She creates
clothing that redefines, recontextualizes, liberates
or transforms presuppositions for modern
protagonists. In other words, she makes clothing for
the average individual who finds him/herself at a
juncture in their life where evolution and change
are possible. In addition to her clothing series
Lawrence has created a new body of work continuing
to play with topics such as: gender identity,
evolution, and survival.
Lawrence has an extensive regional exhibition record
and her work is in private collections throughout
the United States.
