On Jan. 8, “Amy Watts: Cowgirl Heaven,” an exhibit of paintings by artist Amy Watts, opens in the Borderlands Gallery.
Working from a studio in Sam Booth’s home town of Statham, Watts produces colorful paintings reflecting her view of the West. An accomplished rider, Watts often includes her own horses in her mosaic-like compositions.
The exhibit will be up through Apr. 7.
On Jan. 17, the museum will host its “Third Thursday Evening Lecture” with National Geographic photographer Stephen Alvarez.

The evening lecture is free for Booth members and included in the price of admission for non-members.
