Dixie Friend Gay

Houston Bayou 1998-2002 Byzantine glass mosaic 8’ x 73’

I heard an interview with Dixie Friend Gay on NPR last week and decided to check out her work. Little did I know, I had been admiring some of her work for the last few years at Intercontinental Airport. The mosaic shown above is something we marvel at every time we are at IAH. It is even more gorgeous and lush in person.

Ms. Gay also does amazing sculpture and fascinating paintings and drawings. After viewing her work, it's easy to see why she is the Art League Houston's choice for Texas Artist of the Year. I'm looking forward to seeing more of her work in person.
