If you mention the name Jean Schuler to many involved with the Wimberley Valley Arts and Cultural Alliance, they’ll tell you she’s a very talented artist responsible for the design and ‘bootiful’ artwork on three of Wimberley’s boots about town. Very few would guess that she’s also one of the Texas Hill Country’s newest published authors.
Prior to COVID-19, you could find Schuler serving as a volunteer at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum on the University of Texas campus. She worked the front desk on Sundays for a few years, developing a knowledge of LBJ and Lady Bird as well as a fascination about the first couple.
Being native to Austin and understanding the relaxed nature of central Texas get-togethers, Schuler became inquisitive about what visits to the ranch would look like during Johnson’s presidency.
