Shelley Wood grew up in Texas around animals, and in 1999 she and her husband purchased 10 acres of land to establish LamWood Ranch. The couple lives alongside and cares for a number of different animals, and Wood uses her photography to depict their distinct personalities and lives. “I want the images of LamWood Ranch to express an emotion, mood or perception that goes beyond the time-consuming responsibility of caretaking, toward the enchanting existence of humans and animals living together. This is my muse.”
ProvenanceThe artist, Austin; purchased by MFAH, 2022.
