CUERO — The Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum invites the public to experience Life on the Fence, a striking art exhibition that pairs fine art photography by Texas native Frank Klein with bronze wildlife sculptures by internationally acclaimed artist Kent Ullberg. The show runs from October 21 through December 30, 2025, at the museum’s gallery at 302 N. Esplanade Street.
Curated from Klein’s personal archive, the exhibition offers a deeply reflective look at the fragile intersections between humans, animals, and the land they share. Klein’s photographs — many taken on his family’s ranch in DeWitt County — capture fleeting moments of tension, grace, and survival in the South-Central Texas landscape. His work is paired with Ullberg’s masterful bronze sculptures, which evoke the motion and majesty of native wildlife with anatomical precision and emotional depth.
Together, the artists present a visual dialogue that celebrates the region’s natural heritage while prompting viewers to consider their place within it. From the delicate wings of a butterfly caught mid-flight to the powerful stance of a bronze predator, Life on the Fence invites visitors to pause, observe, and connect.
The exhibition is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and admission includes access to the museum’s permanent collection. For more information, visit chisholmtrailmuseum.org/events or call 361-277-2866.
