Rex, Birds and Viola exhibit

Michael Banks of the Friends of the Neches River Wildlife Refuge displays images of a bird painting created by artist Rex Brasher, during the Sept. 25, 2021, opening of the “Rex, Birds, and Viola” exhibit at the Heritage Center of Cherokee County. Here, Banks compares the quality of Brasher’s work with an Audubon Society rendering of the Mississippi Kite. Also present for the exhibit’s opening were the descendants of the Dickinson family, which donated seven original hand-painted images by Brasher.
