Interview with Michael Penn Smith, Photography Artist at Art on 12
Best of Wimberley Winner for 2019!
“We at Art on 12, for the fourth year in a row, offer our sincere thanks to all that have voted for us and supported our fine art business.” We have become an art destination in Wimberley, and we couldn’t have done it without you.”
Cheryl Pritts
Cheryl Pritts Interview: I began like many people, as sort of a hobby. I painted on wood because my husband did a lot of woodworking. We lived in Pennsylvania at that time, and I did a lot of folk art. It was then that I thought, ‘Oh, I really love color!’ After moving to Texas, I started art school with a local artist in San Marcos (Betty Ritchie). She paints in a very classic style, and I really didn’t fit in with the other students because I loved using a palette knife and pure color, unlike most classic-style painters. I don’t like to blend a lot.
Why a Destination?
Art on 12 is situated in the heart of Central Texas, in Wimberley. Our city has been designated a Texas Cultural District by the Texas Commission on the Arts. Our gallery is a destination for all those who wish to experience the rich heritage of Texas. Meet our local, regional, and nationally known artists, many of whom reside in our small town or live close by.
Come experience the flavor of this unique artists’ community. We have several galleries that participate in our Second Saturday Gallery Trail. Experience southern hospitality with wine, beer, hor d’ouevres, and meet many of the artists.
What makes our gallery special is not just the high quality of talent in our local community, but also we feature art by such nationally known artists as Maxine Price, Gordon Fowler, Gary Oakley, Ronnie Weeks, and Rodney Bursiel.
