The Art Museum of Southeast Texas has a wonderful reputation for bringing fresh exhibits to downtown Beaumont.

Sherry Owens “Fabric of Life” – Through September 10

Primary Art Medium: Sculpture

Dallas artist Sherry Owens is well known in the US art community for her sculpture made of crepe myrtle tree pieces.

Sherry’s art evokes both the beauty of the natural world. Owens often states that she is a recycle artist who utilizes crepe myrtle branches that would otherwise be discarded.

The elevated level of Owens’ work emphasizes the luscious capabilities of line and form as her pieces of crepe myrtle intersect, weaving together and creating something completely new.

It will not surprise the viewer, that featured artist Sherry Owens began as a weaver. The Art Museum of Southeast Texas is pleased to feature her work as it gives viewers the chance to appreciate art founded in nature.

This is Owens’ first solo exhibition at the Art Museum of Southeast Texas.

She has participated in previous AMSET group exhibitions.
