Welcome to The Magnificent 7 Rides Again, a captivating podcast series that delves into the vibrant world of seven talented female artists painting amidst the breathtaking landscapes, wildlife, and vistas of the Texas Hill Country. Join us as we explore their creative journeys, uncover the inspirations behind their work, and celebrate their unique perspectives on art and life. In Season 3, we visit with the artists after their 2024 exhibit, The Magnificent Seven Rides Again at the Kerrville Art and Culture Center. In this episode, host Tom Fox welcomes back Deanna Eixman.
Deanna discusses her recent activity and the next Magnificent Seven exhibit at the Kerrville Art and Culture Center. She describes multiple early-year shows, including her largest in downtown Dallas, which required her to create new work for the upcoming exhibit. She also discusses a book project with Creating With the Creator focused on using art and prayer to help women who have experienced sex trafficking, along with ongoing pet portraits and live wedding paintings commissioned to capture key wedding moments. For the next show, she plans Texas landscapes and regional flora (including yuccas and bluebonnets) and animals, using a blend of brush and palette-knife techniques. The exhibit opens on September 24th and runs through October 17th, with a reception on October 3, and possible live painting dates to be posted by the artists and the center.
