A Brushwork Roundup: Western Paintings and Drawings by Craig Sheppard at the Austin Museum

Co-curated by Jim McCormick and Fred Reid, "A Brushwork Roundup: Western Paintings and Drawings by Craig Sheppard" features twenty-six works by Sheppard that reveal his abiding fascination with horses. Viewers can expect to be challenged by Sheppard’s variations on the theme of horse and rider. The artist reached back to earlier times in Nevada when it was the least urban of all the states. Today the exhibit will resonate with those who venture beyond urban limits and encounter still existent ranches, cowboys and wild horses on Nevada’s range land. Make sure to visit Austin and view this very special artshow (through July 3rd) at the Austin Museum, 180 Main Street. More information at austinnevada.com or call 775-964-2200.
