About the Item

"In the world of still life and landscape, conceptual events meet one another – the structural meets the narrative, the small stands in the space of the large, and color has a chance to navigate these meetings, changing everything. All my paintings show this shifting world." - Mary Vernon Born in Southern New Mexico, educated at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, Mary Vernon has served on the faculty of Southern Methodist University in Dallas since 1967. She teaches painting and drawing, and SMU’s noted color theory course. Vernon has chaired both the Division of Art and the Division of Art History. She was named the Meadows Foundation Distinguished Teaching Professor for 1998-1999, and in 2006, she was named Altschuler Distinguished Teaching Fellow. Additionally, Vernon is a Fellow at the Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture. Her work has been exhibited in France, Hungary, Slovenia, Kazakhstan and Chile, as well as nationally. Recent writing about her work can be found in the Kevin Kaiser essay “Still Life with Landscape: The Art and Philosophy of Mary Vernon,” in The Langdon Review of The Arts in Texas, Volume 11, 2014 -2015.

  • Coral Column
    Located in Palm Desert, CA
    Alongside my wife Nansi, I have been lucky to explore some of the most beautiful and pristine coral reefs in the world. People often think we take pictures of the corals and paint them, but that is far from our process, which involves (at least in this case) working from an abstract design and weaving in memories and imagination until I had this image resolved. This painting is scheduled to be a part of our (Nansi’s and mine) international museum exhibition highlighting the beauty and fragility of our coral reef ecosystems, kicking off at the new ICONIC Museum in Texas in 2024. David C. Gallup has devoted his life to the study, teaching, and creation of art. He graduated from Otis/Parsons in Los Angeles in 1990, and soon found himself supervising a staff of over thirty artists under pop art legend Hiro Yamagata on the Earthly Paradise collection and other projects. He began plein-air painting on mornings, weekends and after work, and eventually left his friend and patron Yamagata to pursue a career as a gallery artist. For over a decade, he was the Vice President of the historic California Art Club...
