This past December, art work by Jerry Bywaters was donated to SMU’s Meadows Museum by his daughter Jerry Bywaters Cochran (view the press release). This gift of paintings, pastels, prints, and watercolors, along with the Jerry Bywaters Collection on Art of the Southwest housed in the Hamon Arts Library, will make SMU the major repository of research materials and art work by Jerry Bywaters for future scholars and researchers interested in the art of the region.
In addition to her gift to the Meadows Museum, Mrs. Cochran also donated the Jerry Bywaters Cochran family papers to SMU which will become part of the existing Bywaters Collection in the Hamon Library.
