Although a Science major at SMU Trudy Whitney always  had a passion for art. Nearly 30
years later she became a student of Garret Art Gallery's co-owner, Clara Stovall.  Now after 10
years of study, Trudy paints with ease and confidence on her own.  Her inspiration comes from the
seasonal colors, native trees and gardens that grace husband Bill and Trudy's wooded acreage
 on their ranch in North Texas.  It would seem art runs in Trudy's veins as her mother Eloise
 painted professionally,her late brother Frederick was a sculptor, and her daughter, Corinne,
 is an interior designer.
 
CLARA STOVALL

Solely an oil painter,Clara is driven by the
 inspiration of a fleeting moment or the
emotion of vivid memories. Communicating her
feelings through her paintings, she brings the
Texas Countryside to life. Her Bluebonnet
paintings are very popular with collectors.
Being an avid gardener, she finds flowers and
 garden settings especially appealing.  Several
of her paintings have been reproduced as
 limited edition paints, including a Best of Show
painting titled "Ramblin Rose"
