Lincoln, Nebraska.- The Great Plains Art Museum welcomes the return of Texas artist V….Vaughan and her plein air painting series documenting America “from the passenger seat.”  Since 2007, Vaughan has traveled the roads and rails of the Great Plains region painting scenes of change. Her work has documented much of the Plains region from a car, a bus, or a train, for “Passing America: The Great Plains”, on view at the museum until December 11th.  Vaughan’s first solo exhibition, which premiered at the Great Plains Art Museum in 2007, was “Last Year on the Farm,” a daily plein air series that documented her family’s last year on a multi-generational farm. The success of that exhibition and the stories shared with the artist since its premier helped inspire the ‘Passing’ series.
