Texas isn’t beautiful from ground-level only – it’s beautiful from high above and worthy of being considered art. To prove that point, a traveling art and science education exhibition of satellite images of Texas, “Texas as Art,” will open Friday, May 31, at the Juanita Harvey Art Gallery at MSU Texas. “Texas as Art” is the brainchild of Rebecca Dodge, emeritus associate professor of Geosciences at MSU Texas. The exhibition is a series of digitally enhanced satellite images created by Dodge that show the various ecoregions of West Texas.?
