The American Bank of Texas sponsored a Mojitos, Music and Mojo party at the Marriott Hotel Thursday, May 15, hosted by Susan Pierce and Harriett Smith. The all female crowd came decked out in the latest spring fashions and were treated to mojitos, wine and hors d’oeuvres while enjoying music by The Instigators. Several of New York artist Patricia Nix’s stunningly beautiful limited edition giclees were on display at the party. Nix now resides in New York, but grew up in Lamesa, Texas. She is a member of the National Academy of Design, and her oil paintings are displayed throughout the world in prestigious public, corporate and university collections, including the Smithsonian Institute’s National Museum of American Art. Horseshoe Bay residents marveled at Carolyn and Jess Claiborne’s private collection of Nix’s oils, beautifully showcased in their Escondido home, during the recent Seton Hospital benefit. Residents can view Nix’s painting of Quanah Parker at the American Bank of Texas in Horseshoe Bay this month.
