March 2026 VAS Meeting: Meet Theodora Krc
2026-03-09 18:00 - 19:00 | DEGALLERY, 930 N Rosemary Dr., Bryan, TX, 77802, United States
Meet member Theodora Saladino Krc at our March 9 meeting when she shares her artist story!

Born in 1949 to Czech and Sicilian parents, Theodora Saladino Krc (pronounced “Kerch”) was raised on a family nursery in Bryan, Texas. A talented artist from a young age, she moved to Houston in 1971 and eventually graduated from the University of Houston in 1984 with a degree in Fine Art.
While she initially studied interior design, Theodora found her true passion in painting. Her style evolved through a deep fascination with astronomy, quantum physics, and ancient philosophies. Today, her “spiritual, cosmic” artwork merges atomic theory with healing colors and shapes to explore the space-time continuum. Her visual expression aims to make the “invisible webs of the cosmos” visible, imagining art from other dimensions where light forms matter.
After further studies in graphic and web design in San Diego, Theodora has returned to her roots in Bryan, Texas, where she continues her unique artistic exploration.
Doors open at DEGALLERY at 5:30pm. There will be light refreshments. Come by a bit early, chat and catch up!
