'What I've Become'

The Art Studio, Inc. (TASI) will host artist Caleb Sims’ exhibition “What I’ve Become” during the month of May, and a reception for the exhibit is planned for Saturday, May 7, from 7-10 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public, and will be held at the TASI studio, 720 Franklin St. in Beaumont.

Sims won TASI’s annual juried exhibition, TASIMJAE (The Art Studio Inc. Members’ Juried Art Exhibition) in 2021, which granted the artist the opportunity to present a solo exhibit this year. He will be showing a series of oil paintings on panel.

“This body of work is a series of self-portraits,” Sims said. “I wanted to stray away from conventional self-portraiture by finding ways to juxtapose or blend myself into different characters and environments.”

Born in Crosby, Sims received an associate degree in fine arts from Lee College in Baytown, then attended Lamar University where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in painting.
