content: The Moody Gallery was founded in 1975 by Elizabeth "Betty" Moody in Houston, Texas. It exhibits work by contemporary American artists, with an emphasis on Texas and Houston area artists. The gallery was located in the River Oaks Shopping Center until 1985, when it moved to its current location at 2815 Colquitt Street. Among the artists the Moody Gallery has represented over the years are Luis Jiménez, Terry Allen, Lucas Johnson, Melissa Miller, Gael Stack, Michael Tracy, Harry Geffert, Al Souza, and Leandro Erlich. 

Elizabeth Chambers Moody is the owner and director of the Moody Gallery. Originally from Tennessee, Moody studied art history at the University of Kentucky before moving to Houston in 1969. Prior to starting her own gallery, Moody worked at several art galleries in Houston — most notably the DuBose Gallery, where she learned from established dealer Ben DuBose. In 2000, Moody received the Dallas Visual Art Center's Legend Award celebrating her longevity and influence in the Houston fine arts community.
