Bob Wygant holds a special place in the hearts
of Texas artist and collectors. He mentored many of the artist,
and painted the state as only a true Texan could.
After majoring in art at the University of Texas in Austin, he
returned home to Houston to establish his career. Wygant's first
success was in commissions by some of the major oil companies in
Texas. For several years, the artist worked quietly at home
painting for his many clients. His images are in hundreds of homes
throughout Texas and are treasured by every owner.
Wygant's growing reputation resulted in being offered a teaching
position at the University of Houston, where he inspired
multitudes of students for 16 years. The artist also worked with
the internationally famous Houston Livestock Show in judging
students' art and awarding scholarships... a way to give something
back to the community.
Bob Wygant's magical use of acrylics earned him a reputation as a
master of this medium. His paintings are vibrant, colorful scenes
that allow the viewer to participate in the mood and emotion
emanating from his subjects. He has always been driven to relay
his love of the Western landscape and the many memories of the
quiet, rural life through his paint brush.
