Barbara Jordan Portrait Texas Wall Art by Betsy Crum
She was the first Black woman elected to the Texas Senate and the first Black Texan elected to Congress. She was a congresswoman, an educator, and an orator, and that record is not something a painting needs to improve on. Betsy's portrait is meant to be met at eye level, in a room where it still means something.
As texas wall art it carries a subject worth explaining to whoever asks, and as office wall art it suits a study, a library, a classroom, or a firm's wall. She holds her letter in Caya's Alphabet of Texas Women, too. More Texas subjects in Texas Wall Art.

Product FAQ
Who was Barbara Jordan?
The Houston congresswoman whose voice defined the Watergate hearings — the first Black woman elected to Congress from the South and the first to deliver a Democratic National Convention keynote. A giant of Texas history.
Why a Barbara Jordan portrait?
Because some Texans belong on the wall. Betsy Crum's portrait honors the moral authority Jordan carried, in a piece that reads as both Texas art and American history.
Where does the Barbara Jordan portrait hang?
A home office or study where her example does its work, a library wall, or gallery wall art alongside other Texas women. It brings weight to an entryway too.
Who is the Barbara Jordan print a good gift for?
History lovers, lawyers and public servants, teachers, Houston natives, and graduation gifts with a message. Art by Betsy Crum.
Will this look like an original painting or a print?
Crum Art takes the scanning and photographing of original paintings seriously — we work to capture the texture of the canvas or paper the original was created on, so that texture shows through in the print. Combined with the cotton rag paper’s own subtle surface and the hand-signing, many customers say they cannot tell if it’s an original or a print. That’s intentional. These are not flat digital reproductions — they are fine art prints that carry the soul of the original.
What sizes does this print come in?
Our fine art prints are available in standard rectangle and square sizes. Rectangles: 8x10 unframed matted to 11x14, 11x14 unframed, 16x20, 18x24, and 24x36. Squares: 8x8 unframed matted to 12x12, 12x12 unframed, 16x16, 20x20, and 24x24. Each size ships ready to frame, making it easy to find the right fit for your wall.
How do I make a gallery wall with art prints?
Start with an anchor piece and build outward — many Crum Art prints are part of series designed to group together as a statement gallery wall, or hang individually as standalone pieces. Since every image is sized to fit standard frames, mixing sizes is easy: lay the arrangement out on the floor first, keep about two to three inches between frames, and center the whole grouping at eye level.
