“Art is not a luxury but an essential - like air, it enables us to grow.”
This quote by Iain Dickson Gill captures the importance that art and art history have played in the life of Terry Capps, curator of the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts.
For the past fourteen years, Terry Capps has served as a Board Member of the Pearl, serving as treasurer from 2004-2009. In January 2016, Terry’s lifelong dream became a reality when she took on the curatorial duties at the museum.
Terry Capps is a fourth generation Houstonian. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Houston with a bachelor of science degree in mathematics, and later studied art history at the University of Houston, MFAH Glassell School, and Rice University. A certified public accountant, she opened her own business in 2000, Paradigm Medical Services, Inc., which specializes in medical bill auditing.
Longing to see iconic paintings in person, Terry traveled to 55 countries, touring many of the major art collections in the world. Terry’s greatest joy is being a mother to her son Wesley and daughter Kristin and being a grandmother to Hayden, Parker, and Aspen.

Collector, The Hosek Collection of American Art
The Pearl’s Fall 2018 exhibition, An American View Revisited: The Hosek Collection of American Art, is the second opportunity the museum has had to showcase the extensive art collection of Pearland collector Howard (Chip) Hosek, Jr. The Hosek Collection has continued to expand as Chip has pursued his passion to collect works of art that hold a special interest to him and that present the American story. The Hosek Collection, which initially concentrated on American Art from 1850-1950, has grown to include contemporary works from the late-20th and 21st centuries.
Stewardship — preserving art for future generations — has been Chip Hosek’s goal as he continues to expand his collection. As the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts begins its second decade of showcasing fine art to Northwest Houston, Chip’s generosity in sharing his passion provides a rare opportunity to view these American masterpieces in our community.
