Jo Castillo Art Studio and Gallery, downtown Bastrop, Now Closed.
I'm leaving this page intact for the history of it all. My gallery was open from April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011. Every artist has a dream to have their own gallery. I was the same. I should have tried it about 20 years ago. :-) However, we have been retired since 1994 and running a gallery is a full time job and that "interfered" with our retirement! No spur of the moment travels and paintouts -- I will enjoy doing those things again.
I will still be creating art. I won't retire from that. I will be working in my home studio which is open by appointment. I will also be painting on the road when we travel.
I have rejoined the Bastrop Fine Arts Guild so a few pieces of my art are hanging in the same building where I had my studio. The Guild took over the space and the whole building is still full of art. Nice. The hours at the Guild Gallery are 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday at 1009 Main Street in Bastrop, Texas. Stop in and see all the great art. Many styles, techniques, media and artists.
Judy Hawes now has her jewelry at Deborah Johnson's studio across from Grace's Restaurant on Pine Street. You can also find Judy at the Bastrop Senior Center on most Wednesday afternoons painting and teaching artists there.

Jo's studio is for working and making my art. I show and sell my original pastel, oil and acrylic paintings there. You can drop in and see my work. In addition to my larger paintings, I have my small Jo's Notions paintings there, $50.00, 5 x 7 inch original paintings. All paintings look better than photos can represent, you need to see them up close and personal. Please check my website to preview my work and for prices and purchase information.
I have a few gifts from my cafepress.com store on hand as well.
I also have original pastel paintings by Regina Calton Burchett. Regina and I have been pastel painting buddies for several years. She is a very talented artist. There are some prints and cards there from Regina's paintings.
You will find prints by Tommy Byrd and Kathy Street, (Byrd and Street) too, and their two CDs.
