In September 2011, a major wildfire swept through Bastrop County, burning 34,000 acres and destroying 1,691 homes, making it the most destructive wildfire in Texas history. Jeri and Walter Winslett lost their home. The next step was a big one. They moved into Smithville, and with the help of David and Nena Marsh, opened a store on Main Street that sells the eclectic furniture of David Marsh, as well as the paintings, prints, pottery, and dolls of wonderful local artists.

Gallery of Judy Paul
I've been an artist and graphic designer in Austin, Texas for 20 plus years and I have a degree in graphic design. For the past 10 years I've painted on a daily basis as I transitioned from full-time graphic designer to full-time artist. My mixed media paintings are most often a combination of acrylic paint, collage, pencil and screen printing. Find out more about my paintings and reproductions here. You can watch my 'My Studio Today' videos on my YouTube channel here.

Main Gallery Smithville
Founded by Fred & Laurie Beck, Main Gallery showcases contemporary art from premier regional artists. Located in Historic Downtown Smithville, Texas, Main Gallery provides a space for communities to connect through creativity.
"We chose Smithville as our home almost two years ago. When the opportunity presented itself to have ownership of the site on 2nd and Main, we immediately made the decision to follow our passions as both artists and art collectors. The bottom line is that we firmly believe in the basic importance of art in people's lives."
