The Face of Texas: Portraits of Texans

The Face of Texas is a portrait of the state of Texas celebrating the individuality and independent spirit of Texas through portraits of its people—a fascinating and diverse array of native and adoptive Texans, from powerful big-city movers to unique small-town characters; from the renowned, such as George W. Bush and singer/songwriter Willie Nelson, to the obscure, like artist Ran Horn, the 'Van Gogh' of tiny Van Horn, and Shannon Perry, the 'Gatorfest Queen' of Anahuac. Elizabeth O'Brien's insightful biographical writing, paired with Michael O'Brien's photographic portraits, produces a rich image of the unique Texas spirit.
