Wanda Gamble moved to Bastrop County Texas in 1984 to paint and live the artist’s life. The surrounding landscape has inspired many of her painting subjects: the farms, woodlands, creeks, country roads, small town alleys and country roads near and far. Her studio serves as a private gallery and also a classroom for students. The painters she especially admires — Monet, Sargent, Bonnard, Hopper– may tell you something about her own work.

Wanda Gamble studied at Wichita State University (Wichita, Kansas) and at the University of Texas at Austin (Austin, Texas). Both individuals and corporate collectors have acquired her work.
