Delve into the heart of the Texas Hill Country with the award-winning “Hill Country Artists Podcast,” which illustrates and illuminates the vibrant tapestry of art rooted in this iconic region. From the sun-drenched limestone cliffs to the serene Guadalupe River, the Hill Country has been a muse for countless artists, providing a unique backdrop for creativity to flourish. In each episode, we uncover the stories behind the area’s most captivating artworks, converse with local artists about their inspirations, and explore the fusion of Texan traditions with contemporary artistic expressions.
In this episode of the Hill Country Artist Podcast, host Tom Fox welcomes Sherrie Castillo, Cindy Peyton, and Sonja Miley to discuss their upcoming show at the KACC, Hill Country Trails and Tails. Hill Country Trails and Tails: Kerrville Artists Preview Upcoming KACC Exhibition.
The Show will run through about May 4, with an artist reception on April 18 from 2–4 pm. They discuss how the show originated, each artist’s path into painting (including starting later in life, retiring, and taking lessons), and their creative processes, using photos, nature walks, and reference gathering. The conversation highlights specific works (wildlife, sunflowers, a farmhouse, trees, and a donkey from a local miniature donkey ranch) and emphasizes KACC’s role as a community hub for exhibits, the Kerrville Art Club, programs, networking, and support for artists and patrons.
