Artist Biography: Odette Ruben, a Texas City resident, was a well-known watercolorist who won many awards in Galveston Art League juried competitions (three are held annually at league galleries in Texas City and Galveston) and Texas Watercolor Society contests. Many of Ruben’s paintings depict Texas City scenes, and some of these are on display at the city’s Doyle Convention Center. Ruben also painted sites in Galveston, with a pet subject being Victorian houses. After her death, she left a large body of artworks to an inheritor who has given them to the Galveston Art League to sell at their galleries. Odette Mesinger was born in Houston. She and her family moved to Galveston when she was a senior in high school. Ruben graduated from Ball High School in Galveston and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from Washington University in St. Louis. After college she applied her artistic skills to fashion. She and her brother, Herbert, opened a dress factory where she was the sole designer of Odette Mesinger Junior Dresses, a line that was carried at Nathan’s in Galveston and Foley’s in Houston. She left the dress-design business to marry Steve Ruben. Odette Ruben died in 2015 at age 89.
