FEATURED WORKS BY:

  • Clara Bensen is a writer and photographer based in Marfa, Texas. Her work focuses on surreal, dreamlike qualities within everyday settings.

  • Logan Caldbeck explores themes of nature, consciousness, and spirituality in her work through images that capture both her personal experience living in a rural town and symbolic references she creates in her studio. Often utilizing a range of printed forms including fine art papers, fabric, and commercial mass-produced materials, she welcomes the tension between an image’s uniqueness and the inherent reproducibility of photography. Her recent projects have centered around personal feelings of loss, sacrifice, and renewal.

    Caldbeck’s work has been exhibited in Houston FotoFest’s Nowhere Near Here, exhibited and published in The Photo Review's Best of Show juried by Lesley A. Martin, and published online by the Humble Arts Foundation. Her floral photography received Bronze and People’s Choice Award in Exposure One Award’s 2025 Photographer of the Year in the Professional Still Life category, and honorable mention from the 2024 International Photography Awards (IPA) in the Professional Fine Art Still Life category. Caldbeck earned a BFA in Art History and Photography from Concordia University in Montreal, Canada, and has lived and worked in Marfa, Texas for 15 years.

  • Shea Carley is a multidisciplinary artist based in Far West Texas. Through a site-responsive and process-based practice collaborating with locally foraged natural materials and light sensitive surfaces, Shea’s work looks beyond human-centered delineations of place and time and imagines new paradigms in human to more-than-human relationships for a more hopeful ecological future.

  • Lisa Chestnut is a Marfa-based artist who creates modern-day artifacts from material found around her in the Far West Texas environment. Marfa lends itself to wandering, and while many look up and out to the horizon, Chestnut looks toward earth, gathering objects that remain from human activity and are tempered and redeposited by rain and wind.

    A landscape architect by training, Chestnut turns the found remnants of structures, machinery, toys, and myriad odds and ends into 3D objects that tell a visual story of the people who live in and pass through Marfa. Her sculptures are made entirely from objects found on her walks or travels around town and are hand-pressed, sculpted, or cast in her Marfa studio. Her pieces are visually striking while also conveying a tactile property through their form and components that make one want to handle and observe what it is they hold inside. Influenced by the art of Donald Judd, John Chamberlain, and other artists who have left their mark on Marfa, as well as Noah Purifoy, Chestnut creates small-scale structures that literally embody the world around her and give rise to a controlled but beautiful chaos.

  • Davis is a graduate of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He founded and operated Street Level Studio, a graphic design firm just outside of Chicago, for over three decades. During some of that time he and his wife operated a contemporary art gallery and have been avid art collectors forever. Now retired, he has returned to his love of making art. They have owned a house in Marfa, TX for 17 years and on frequent trips to Marfa he has collected discarded wire found around town. With reverence to the original twisted, tangled shapes and rusted surfaces, he has used these wire fragments in many different media, including, sculptural objects, screen prints, felt panels, and drawings. For him, there seems to be a limitless supply of Marfa wire and limitless ways to bring them to life again.

  • An interdisciplinary artist, educator, & writer living in Marfa Tx ; Tinkering with light & movement through transparent paintings.

  • Jack Gibson is an artist, filmmaker and musician currently working out of Portland, Oregon and Marfa, Texas.

  • Edward Alan Gross is a prolific artist best known for drawing inspiration from the imagery and materials that surround him. Through sophisticated composition and formal aspects of art he transforms the imagined and observed using an increasingly complex palette of a felled tree. Combining inlay, form, and a variety of natural finishes he allows the tree to become its second life.

    Edward Alan Gross is a graduate of VCU School of the Arts. His work has been displayed at Art Basel Miami, VCU Arts Qatar, Scope Miami, 410 DC, 1708 Gallery, and numerous local galleries and private corporate collections. He currently works and resides in Richmond, Virginia with his wife and daughter.

  • Alexander is a material and process driven artist, giving equal attention to both conceptual and studio practice. These values generally manifest in the creation of substantial material objects and/or place-making through installation or intervention in remote landscapes. He is particularly interested in the physical properties of his materials and the juxtaposition of these qualities against both metaphysical and formal negative space. Through this preoccupation, an exploration of ontological concerns has become a recurring motif in his practice. He has worked as a journeyman blacksmith in Austria, Spain, Estonia, and Italy, he holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Texas State University in San Marcos TX, and a Master of Arts degree from the Estonian Academy of Art in Tallinn. He currently resides in the Big Bend region of Far West Texas, USA where he draws inspiration from the surrounding landscape and the distinct geological features and floral phenomena that distinguish the Chihuahuan desert.

  • Haley Levin is an artist, illustrator, and educator with roots in LA, Austin, Marfa, St. Louis, and some other places. Follow her on Instagram @haleysplat

  • Rob Mazurek is an interdisciplinary artist whose work spans over three decades and encompasses more than 80 recordings, site specific installations, and international performances/exhibitions.

  • Liz Potter is an analog photographer based in Alpine. She earned a degree in photojournalism in 1990 from the University of Texas, Austin, and lived in the city for 28 more years before starting a new chapter in her life by moving to far West Texas in early 2018.

With a darkroom in her house, she prints black-and-white film but also explores other photographic mediums to create images, such as cyanotype, Polaroid, and Suminagashi.

  • Carlos Santori is an interdisciplinary artist based in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

  • Alexis Smith is a designer and temple keeper whose work moves between ritual arts, spatial design, and visual storytelling.

She also contributes ongoing graphic design support for Club Nowhere.

  • Mai Snow is an Austin-based painter. They work in oils in often rugged conditions. Their work shares an embrace of human messiness and an image making that unapologetically aspires to beauty, eternal and true.
