East Meets West
Winnsboro Center for the Arts is proud to present this stunning gallery featuring the works of artists Nancy Beauchamp and Bob Haydon.
Bios:
Nancy Beauchamp, who currently lives in Winnsboro, graduated from Principia College with a degree in Fine Arts, Studio and Art History. She also participated in an Art Abroad course in Europe. Pastels are her medium of choice in landscapes, still life’s and animal portraits. She teaches workshops and weekly classes in pastels and is a regular instructor at the Winnsboro Center for the Arts. Nancy has been blessed with numerous awards in art competitions.
Bob Haydon graduated from SMU in 1968 with a BFA in Commercial Art and Painting. For the next 35 years he worked as an art director for a large book publisher and free-lanced as a designer and illustrator. Bob and his staff won 24 PIA industry awards for excellence in concept and design. At the same time he had paintings in a number of galleries in Dallas, Ft. Worth and elsewhere. His recent paintings have appeared in four galleries in East Texas.
Artist Statements:
Nancy Beauchamp: All paintings are done in dry pastels and consist of mostly landscapes. They represent my love for East Texas, especially the Piney Woods.
Bob Haydon: I try to understate the contrast and deliver impressionistic canyons and mountains with less photographic drama and more overall texture and color. My southwest landscapes are a result of hiking through Palo Duro canyon and other West Texas mountainous sites.
Why we want to exhibit together:
Nancy Beauchamp: We both paint Texas scenery and thought it would be a good contrast of our different mediums, acrylics and pastels, and different subject matter. This exhibit shows the diverse beauty of Texas.
Bob Haydon: Nancy and I met at a gallery and struck up a friendship that has carried into our artwork. With similar views on fine art in general, but with different impressionistic styles and subject matter, we felt that “East Meets West” would be a rewarding idea not only for us but also for the general public.
Artist Reception: January 17th from 3-5 PM.

A Solo Exhibit by Linda Lucas Hardy
February 29 through April 11
In 2002, Linda Lucas Hardy made the decision to refer to herself as a professional artist. Since that decision her art, and/or articles, have been published in two dozen magazines and sixteen books. Her work has been juried into more than 80 national and international exhibitions and she’s won an equal number of awards and honors, many being Best of Show. She is an 18-year veteran of colored pencil instruction and has taught Oil Painting for the last 6 years. Linda has taught classes and workshops in 15 states and 2 countries to hundreds of students ages 8 to 88.
Before making the transition to oil in 2008, Linda spent 18 years working in colored pencil, which is where she garnered most of her notoriety. Linda eventually started experimenting with transparent glazes, much like layering in colored pencil, and became intrigued. Even though glazing is time consuming and takes considerable pre-planning, she prefers that to painting Alla Prima, a term meaning paintings done in one sitting.
Linda is a ten-year merit award recipient in the Colored Pencil Society of America, past President of CPSA 215, the Dallas/Ft Worth District Chapter and past President of CPSA 222, the Texarkana Chapter of the Colored Pencil Society of America. Linda is Signature member of the National Oil & Acrylic Painters Society, a Signature member of the Irving Art Association and has been member of the Mt. Pleasant Texas Art Society over 30 years.
She is represented by Southwest Gallery, 4500 SIGMA at Welch – Dallas, Texas 75244 – 972.960.8935- 800.272.9910 and Davis & Blevins, The Main Street Gallery, 108 S Main, St. Jo TX 76265 – 904-995-2787 – 877-221-2158.
Linda currently lives in Omaha, TX with her husband of 47 years and their two dogs, Max & Toby.
