Maureen Crudden Womack received her degree in advertising from the University of Texas at Austin. She works mostly in acrylics and oils and prefers abstract and non-representational styles. Some of Womack’s notable shows were held at the Gallery @1300 on Dragon Street, The Rising Gallery, Siematic Showroom, Deep Ellum Art Walk, Design Within Reach, and the Red Bull Art of Can. She was also selected to create original pieces for the Omni Dallas Hotel, and has 100 of her paintings hanging in guest rooms throughout the property.

In 2012, Womack co-produced and painted Icons of Dallas, an installation in the CBS building on North Central Expressway. Recently Womack has been creating artworks for private residences across the country. Inspired by her love of travel and art history, she is presently a docent at the Dallas Museum of Art.

“I work mostly in acrylics, but the paint is always mixed with a medium, making it thicker. This slows down the drying process, allowing me more freedom to blend and move the paint, and create significant textures. I rarely paint with a brush, but rather a knife, and go back in with tools to add more depth, or scrape away to reveal the under paint. I like the mystery that the subtle layering creates. At first glance one image might be seen, but as more time is spent in front of the painting, hidden surprises can be discovered underneath....messy and complicated can also be beautiful.”
