“What I had,” an exhibition of recent paintings and drawings by Dan Sutherland, opened at Moody Gallery on May 9, 2026. In addition to demonstrating his masterful technical abilities as a painter and ingenuity as a maker of drawings, the twenty-three works on view in this exhibition reflect Sutherland’s deep interest in and knowledge of art history. Sutherland references and melds art historical influences and sources from across centuries, from Jean Siméon Chardin to Alexander Calder and beyond, in an inventive and original manner. At times, particularly in his drawings, Sutherland explicitly appropriates motifs, tropes, and symbols from throughout the history of art. At other times, he more obliquely reveals his sources of inspiration through technique and approach. The results of Sutherlands efforts, a “game” of sorts according to the artist, constitute an unorthodox style that resists norms and simplistic, definitive categorization."

We are delighted Gallery Artists Dornith Doherty and Mary McCleary are featured in Glasstire's recent article "Picturing Texas Art: Training Grounds". As Glasstire celebrates their 25th Anniversary, they are commemorating the artists and art professionals who have shaped their regional art scenes, as well as Texas art more broadly.

Born in Houston, Dornith Doherty has been a photography professor at the University of North Texas in Denton since 1996. For 30 years, she has taught and inspired photographers and lens-based artists, while also maintaining her own successful career and advancing the field of photography. Recently, she received the UNT Foundation’s Eminent Faculty Award in recognition of her longstanding career.

Mary McCleary, known for her intricately layered three-dimensional collage works, was named Regent’s Professor of Art Emeritus at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches. The title recognizes her significant contributions to the university, where she taught from 1975 to 2005. Emily Sloan, Matthew Sontheimer, and O. Rufus Lovett were among the many students that she mentored and helped shape.
