Masterworks show an artist’s commitment. In San Antonio, this is evident in landmark civic projects, from the notable people featured in “The Notable People of San Antonio” in 2020 to the hyperrealism of the $5 million World Heritage Missions Collection, circa 2015. This dedication is continued with the Kevin G Saunders Fine Art Orchid Collection, a definitive gallery of hyperrealistic botanical masterpieces.
