was in a group show with Women and Their Work
at Laguna Gloria, in 1982 had her first major
showing at the Shown-Davenport Gallery in San Antonio,
and painted a variety of commissions, portrait

winning the Juror's Choice award in ceramics in 1996.
In recent years, Scout has shown work with
the Austin Visual Artists Association, at Cafe Lago,

Cass Hook began his involvement with the arts
in the 1970's as a partner in a night club
in Austin, Texas. Later Hook worked as a
representative of a musical group, and sold
advertising for various arts journals. In the
80's, Hook published his own journal of creative
writing, The Dead Tree, a book of his own poetry,
Precognition, and became a partner in Amazing
Records, a label that produced Austin and
other Texas artists. During this time Hook
worked on a not yet published novel, and began
to draw and work in watercolor and pastels.
In the 90's after attempting a few wood carvings,
Hook began a study of sculpture at the Elisabet
Ney Sculpture Conservatory, now the Austin
Sculpture Center, and has since participated
in a number of group shows in Austin.
