August 29 - November 8, 2026

The Art Museum of Southeast Texas is pleased to present Samantha Harrison: Land and Light as its Fall 2026 Community Art exhibition.
Harrison is a self-taught painter and photographer. Her work is shaped by a love of travel and the natural world. Inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe, Ansel Adams, and Bauhaus design, she creates work based on places both real and imagined. This exhibition is a collection of paintings and photographs ranging in artworks with subtle details of the natural world to wide-open landscapes.
