CHARLES PEBWORTH 1926-2019
In addition to creating metal reliefs, Charles also made paintings, watercolors, and sculptures out of marble and wood. Many of his works include references to the natural world and Native American imagery, which comes out of his experience as a member of the Choctaw tribe, and his upbringing on an Osage reservation.
“What exuberant, distinctive art it is. You know a Pebworth piece from across the room — or across the vast lobby, in some cases, since many of his mixed media wall works—in metals, woods, stones—literally filled lobby walls in buildings around Houston and beyond. But every Pebworth work, even the pill-box sized pieces humble collectors in small spaces have room for, is unmistakably his.”
— Randy Tibbits, a founding member of the Houston Earlier Texas Art Group
