Dennis Blagg's vivid Big Bend National Park paintings capture the essence of nature in a duality of the literal and mythical - an exploration that goes beyond reality.  Blagg is included in numerous public and private collections including: The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, The Museum of South Texas in Corpus Christi, and the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. His public works include a massive, 42-foot painting for the Dallas/Fort Worth International Terminal D in 2005.
