Wade Wilson Art hosts a special exhibit in conjunction with ARTHouston 2011. Photographs of the American West by Barbara Van Cleve focuses on images of the women and men the artist has met in her daily life as owner of a Montana dude ranch and follower of “Cowboy Culture.”

Descended from Montana pioneers, Van Cleve was born and raised on her family's ranch near Big Timber, Mont. Her silver gelatin prints and digital photographs capture her vision of the American West, the spirit of the landscape and people who inspire her. 

The exhibit opens with a reception for the artist from 6 - 8 p.m. and will remain on view through August 6.
