The Spa

“The same local muralist also painted a plant-focused piece near the pool and spa. The resort’s Mokoara Spa is themed for succulents and Texas flora, featuring the Green Cactus Café, which offers coffee, cocktails, and light bites. “[The theme] seemed to resonate with the idea of the black prairie land, the story of the area, Texas, but in a more profound way,” McKoy says. Art above the mani-pedi stations is a series of six Texas landscapes and above the banquette a prickly pear cactus, succulent, and pencil cactus triptych adorns the wall. The co-ed lounge highlights a photo series of succulents in North Texas and many of the 20 treatment room stars a plant painting by Austin-based artist Anna Kamburis Swanson and acrylic pieces by East Texas artist Sarah McInroe. Two of the rooms feature flora-focused work by Texas-based Croatian American artist Mishna Maynerick Blaine.”
