OUR STORY

Welcome to Studio Comfort Texas, our artist studio gallery, home to an exclusive group of mutually supportive fine art educators and artists. “Studio gallery” is how we label our unique environment that combines not only display, but integrates the community through fine-art classes. We reside in an historic 1907 building on High Street in downtown Comfort, Texas. Jeannette MacDougall has lived in Kendall County since 1986. She has brought her practice as a professional artist and her experience as a seasoned instructor at the Southwest School of Art to the Texas Hill Country community. In 2016, artist/designer Cara Hines met Jeannette when she visited Comfort, and the two bonded instantly over their artistic sensibilities, gypsy spirit, and joie de vivre. At that time, Cara was Gallery Manager at the Center for Contemporary Arts in Abilene, Texas, and a practicing artist. When Jeannette was offered the opportunity to create her own artist enclave at 716 High Street, the timing was perfect for Cara to join her in forming STUDIO COMFORT, which opened its doors in January 2019.

Together, Jeannette and Cara bring a strong focus on expanded art programming as well as gallery artist representation, and guest artist workshops. In addition, we plan to offer mentoring partnerships, critiques, collaborations, juried competitions, and artist residency opportunities. 

To stay informed with what is being offered at STUDIO COMFORT, including a full schedule of workshops, classes, gallery exhibitions, and special art events,
