Opening Reception - Artist Kayla Barker

  • Museum of the Southwest 1705 West Missouri Avenue Midland, TX, 79701 United States (map)

Experience the vast beauty of the landscape through the lens of Midland-based artist Kayla Barker, whose work is shaped by both her West Texas roots and her global travels. In Big Skies, Open Roads, Barker pairs traditional film photography with encaustic techniques. Layering molten wax to add depth, texture, and a sense of memory to each image. The result is a body of work that feels both grounded in place and dreamlike in atmosphere, capturing the quiet poetry of open highways, wide horizons, and the spaces in between.

A member reception will be on Thursday, April 30, 2026, from 5:30 - 7 PM.

Free with admission or membership. Light bites and drinks will be available for guests to enjoy. (Reception is Free)
