Mosaic Art & Home, located in the historic heart of Smithville, TX, is more than just an art gallery—it’s a celebration of creativity, resilience, and community. Established in 2012 by local artists Jeri and Walter Winslett, the gallery was born from a story of perseverance after the couple lost their home in the devastating 2011 Bastrop County Complex fi re. With the support of David and Nena Marsh, they purchased and preserved a historic Main Street building, transforming it into a vibrant hub for local artistry. To mark its opening, Jeri and Walter commissioned artist Stephanie Distefano to create a mosaic mural of Smithville’s own Hannibal Lokumbe, a renowned musician and composer. This piece not only became a defi ning feature of the gallery but also a lasting contribution to Smithville’s growing collection of public art.
