Liz Gates: Pulling Threads

The Art Museum of Southeast Texas is proud to present “Liz Gates: Pulling Threads”. This exhibition opens January 23, 2026 and is on view through April 12, 2026. 

Liz Gates, a native of Houston, creates mixed media works of art centered around themes of gendered labor, self-manifestation, and feminist mother identity through the  incorporation of found maternal materials, such as cloth diapers and tea towels. Gates transforms these common fabrics into whimsical structures representing the shared stories of the maternal and community. 

Loc Huynh: Beyond Sài Gòn

Loc Huynh is a Vietnamese American artist whose work bridges personal history, cultural memory, and place. 

“Beyond Sài Gòn” offers an intimate exploration of the contradictions and tensions of Vietnamese American life in Texas, viewed through the lenses of family, place, and material culture.

Lindsay Simon
Alighted: A Marsh Reverie
through Feb. 8, 2026

The Art Museum of Southeast Texas is pleased to present the work of Lindsay Simon for its fall 2025 Cafe Arts exhibition.

Alighted: A Marsh Reverie features colorful, highly detailed depictions of local water fowl and marshlands. An avid bird watcher, Simon enjoys studying and photographing the local marshes and their inhabitants during migration. She uses pastels for their vibrancy, as well as the medium's ability to capture delicate details and bold movement.

A local family law attorney, Simon has lived the majority of her life in Southeast Texas. She has a Bachelor of Science in Communication Studies from Lamar University and a Juris Doctor from Oklahoma City University. Simon hopes that her works bring viewers the same sense of peace that she experiences when exploring local marshlands.
