Professional Artists of Central Texas

PACT Member Achievement | Hailey Herrera

One of the things we value at the Professional Artists of Central Texas is seeing our members take their work into new communities and reach new audiences.

PACT member Hailey Herrera’s distinctive watercolor batik work is currently featured in the front windows of Ideal Glass Studios in New York City.

Her process is the result of years of experimentation with thin rice and textured mulberry papers, wet-in-wet watercolor techniques, layered color, and optical color mixing.

The finished works reward both distance and close inspection: the composition resolves from across the room while closer viewing reveals unexpected color, texture, and detail.

It is exciting to see a PACT member representing the depth of artistic talent found here in Central Texas in New York City.

Congratulations, Hailey.
