Texas Tree 52" x 52 " - Mixed Media on Wood Limited Edition Print Available |
| My Great-grandfather came to Texas as a young man in 1875. He bought a ranch across the flats from Capote Peak in the southern part of the Sierra Viejo Mountains in Presidio County. In 1890, he built a house in Marfa and planted the acorn of a burr oak in the front yard. That acorn grew into the giant oak tree that still shades the front yard of the old homestead today, measuring 65 feet tall with a diameter of over 12 feet. | |

Ancient Story |
| My grandmother came from an old family of Norman descent. Their history is documented back to 1066. She brought the nobility, faith, and love of her legacy into my present. | |

Taking Chances |
I come from a long line of gamblers. A map dating back to the 1600's represents the world when the first Vermillion traveled alone to America, at the age of 13. He worked as an indentured servant to a wealthy landowner and eventually earned his freedom. Ever since, Vermillion men and women have risked the unknown to make their dreams come true. |
