The Nave Museum proudly presents u n d e r d o g By: Patricia Compton. 

     Born in Refugio, Texas, raised in Goliad, Texas:Patricia Compton has been painting since receiving her first art award from the Texas Department of Culture, Austin, at the age of 12. Compton graduated from the University of North Texas with a BFA in Design. Upon graduation she won an international design 

competition which awarded her the funding to move to NYC.

     Her art career began with numerous group shows in Manhattan and Washington D.C., including The Pace Collection, Washington. She also has had solo shows in East Hampton, NY as well as various galleries in Austin, San Antonio, and Alamo Heights, Texas. The Nave Museum will be her first Museum show.

     Upon publication in David Carson’s “Speak” she decided to make the move out of NYC and “hole up” somewhere to paint a large new body of work. Goliad seemed like a good choice so Patricia came back home. Her painting career literally went to the dogs upon picking up her first stray, mangy dog off the steps of the Presidio La Bahia in Goliad and turned into 20 years of rescue, rehabilitation, and the adopting out of hundreds upon hundred of puppies and dogs to loving and deserving homes.

     She believes her gift for rescue is as much a God given gift as the ability to paint. She is now beginning a new body of commissioned work and determined, with the help of her visionary friends and supporters in rescue to get something built in Goliad reflective of art, dogs, rescue, and education on both subjects.

Kayla is a Victoria native artist that focus on abstract art. This body of work is a modest expression of other forms of art: the personification of the overall aesthetic coupled with a vernal freshness that flourished following the change in seasons. With the arrival of Spring, our waking hours are filled with sunlight; there is a positive association between more sunshine and happier, more hopeful feelings. This shift made allowances for an imaginative awakening expressed in a simple and clean design. Making that connection allowed her to expand her mind, permitting room for interpretation which resulted in an inordinate relationship between mind and body in a manifestation of unrestrained tranquility.

"Dub Lee is a self-taught artist who grew up in Edna, Texas. As a young boy, he watched his grandmother paint in oils on the porch of the family’s ranch house on long hot summer afternoons as cattle grazed in the surrounding pastures and towering thunderstorms boiled up from the Gulf of Mexico.  His first solo exhibit, A Cowboy in Every Direction, is inspired by those early artistic memories and is a reflection on his experiences of growing up in south central Texas."
