Who was Royston Nave?
Royston Nave was an
accomplished artist who enjoyed a prolific and successful painting career both in Texas and New York. His primary interests were the people and landscapes of Texas. His portraits are beautifully expressive as they capture a moment in time. Royston Naves landscapes are impressionistic in style. You can see his fondness for the sea and boating in his seascapes, some of the very best of his
landscapes. The Victoria Regional Museum Association owns a great many of Royston Nave's paintings and his works are currently the only artwork being collected by the Association. The Nave's collection of his paintings is only exhibited once every several years so that the Nave can present its many exciting traveling art exhibits to the public.

The Nave gratefully acknowledges its members:
