Ruiz-Healy Art is pleased to announce that The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City, New York, has acquired a 1969 acrylic on canvas painting by Mel Casas, Humanscape 56 (San Antonio Circus), part of Casas’s Humanscape series. We congratulate the Mel Casas Family Trust on this important acquisition. We especially thank Dan Nadel, the Steven and Ann Ames Curator of Drawings and Prints at the Whitney Museum of American Art, for his leadership in selecting Casas’s work.

In honor of the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals, we are pleased to share “Purse Portrait: # 21 (Kimberly)” by RHA Artist Chuck Ramirez. Among its contents is a miniature Tim Duncan jersey, a small but meaningful detail that offers a distinctly San Antonio touch. Ramirez’s purse portraits of his friends’ handbags reveal intimate details of their daily lives.

“A handbag’s contents—staged or not—speak to matters of femininity, identity and, in the case of Ramirez’s work, the projection of the imagined self. On the other hand, the Purse Portraits question the stability of the object and the very concept of objecthood—a sentiment in keeping with notions like Jerry Saltz’ definition of the “non-specific object,” relegating, to some degree, Ramirez’s use of photography to a medium of opportunity. Each surrogate is so obviously an amalgam that any notions about the identity of the sitter can only be provisional.” - Anjali Gupta

Thank you, Glasstire for featuring Eva Marengo Sanchez: Any Given Monday as a Top Five. The exhibition will be on view at our San Antonio gallery until August 22, 2026,

“The artist’s still-life paintings highlight the relationships among food, identity, geography, and culture. Meticulously rendered and compositionally reminiscent of old master paintings, Marengo Sanchez’s work elevates the commonplace and creates snapshots of her bicultural and Tex-Mex experience. Any Given Monday explores the convergence of private and public through her still lifes of everyday subjects, which hold strong associations in the artist’s personal narrative while also speaking to collective memories.”

Ruiz-Healy Art is pleased to announce that the Art Bridges Foundation in Bentonville, Arkansas, has acquired C. Jane Run by gallery artist Consuelo Jimenez Underwood. The image of a family fleeing, taken from California 1990s road signs found near the border, has appeared several times in Jimenez Underwood’s work. It mimics the format of a deer-crossing sign, a parallel that prompted the artist to reflect: “they’re thinking of us as animals now.” During her childhood, her father was deported to Mexico multiple times, forcing her and her family to smuggle him back over the border each time. This piece was made to honor all the anonymous souls who have not survived the crossing. But its title, which alludes to the Dick and Jane children’s series, calls attention to the little girl in particular, whom the artist has also identified with in the past. The C, in fact, stands for Consuelo’s name. C. Jane Run is the largest textile the artist has created to date.

The Art Bridges Foundation partners with museums of all sizes across the United States and its territories to provide strategic and financial support to bring American art out of storage and into communities nationwide through innovative, collaborative art-sharing and community-engagement programs.

Consuelo Jimenez Underwood, C. Jane Run, 2005, Signed, titled, and dated on the reverse, silver and gold textile paint, safety pins, and glass beads, on recycled clothing,120 x 204 in, 304.8 x 518.2 cm

Join us at our San Antonio gallery tomorrow from 6:00 - 8:00 PM for the opening of Eva Marengo Sanchez: Any given Monday.

Marengo Sanchez utilizes common single-use plastics to prompt a reflection on contemporary consumerism. By pairing these materials with floral imagery, she highlights the tension between artificial waste and the natural environment. The artist describes the slow process of engaging with nature as a necessary counterbalance to the immediacy of modern life, noting that working within the “timeline of a flower” is an essential exercise in mindfulness.
