About the Artist

Jim Woodson, born in 1941 in Waco, Texas, has become one of the most respected painters and educators in the Texas art scene. Woodson has exhibited widely, with solo shows at prominent galleries and museums across Texas and beyond, and his works are held in numerous public and private collections. In 2013, he was named Texas State Visual Artist for two-dimensional work by the Texas Commission on the Arts, a recognition of his significant contributions to the state’s cultural heritage. Now retired from teaching, Woodson continues to paint full-time, drawing inspiration from the natural world and encouraging others to appreciate and preserve its magic and beauty. Jim Woodson is best known for his vivid, abstracted landscape paintings of the American Southwest, particularly the high desert regions of Texas and New Mexico.
