Norman Arts Council’s annual arts party fundraiser goes intergalactic with Area fiftyONE. Artists from across the state and beyond were invited to submit works and encouraged to give their take on the worlds of extraterrestrials, sci-fi, space and the great unknown.
The results are over 150 pieces in a wide range of media, styles and artistic approaches made universal in our appreciation for their creativity, what it brings to our area and, not least of all, that at least 50% of every work sold benefits Norman Arts, with many generously donating 100% of proceeds.

About the artist:
Born and raised in the small town of Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, Kevin Stark has created art his entire life. At the age of fifteen he began working at an Ad Agency and by the age of eighteen he was the head of the art department. At the same time he was working for the agency he became interested in the art of the old masters, particularly the portrait artists, and worked to teach himself their techniques.
Stark attended the University of Oklahoma, majoring in art. At OU he expanded his interests and worked to achieve skills in many different styles and mediums. These skills led him to jobs as a toy designer, a comic book artist, a billboard artist, a portrait painter and many other art related projects for clients in Hollywood and around the world.
Stark has been a professional artist most of his life and in the 1980’s moved back to his hometown and opened his studio and gallery, Stark Art. From there he has produced many works of art and sometimes, because of his interest in Performance Art, he dreams up different artist “personas” in order to create works in totally different styles and subject matter.
His work has been featured in many one-man and group shows across the country and his work is in collections around the world. He has been featured in Oklahoma Today, Art Focus Oklahoma The Oklahoma Gazette, The Daily Oklahoman, the Tulsa World, the Dallas Morning News and many other newspapers. He has also done interviews for magazines in France, Germany, Australia and Japan. Several television shows have featured his work, including several times on the show Gallery on OETA. Other Oklahoma stations to feature stories on Stark include KWTV, WKY, KOCO, and KTEN.
Artist Statement:
Stark creates work in many different mediums and in many different styles. In fact, his early one-man shows were often mistaken for group showings, as the work seemed to be done by several artists instead of just one individual. In order to make his work more easily understood by viewers, Stark began creating different artist personas for the various styles of art he was producing and then grouped the paintings of each unique artist together, making his work more cohesive. This concept enabled him to also become involved in performance art, as Stark creates a uniquely different artist “look” and personality for each separate body of work. Many times he will show up at his art openings in character as one of his artists. At times, his own family has failed to recognize him.
Though these works in this exhibit are all created by Kevin Stark, you will see Pop Art by “Red Kittens,” bird paintings by “Ivory Keyes,” abstract storm paintings by “Jett Black,” graphic poster style paintings by “Salmon Chevy,” and finally classical, yet contemporary portraits under Kevin Stark’s own name.
In conclusion, Stark says, “Apologies in advance for any confusion that this shit might cause.”

It’s fitting that in Norman — a city equally celebrated for its Sooner athletics and creative community — we see those respective worlds collide in Breaking Barriers: The Jim Thorpe Collection.
The exhibition is the brainchild of Norman-based artist Steve Hare and features the work of Hare, Norman printmaker and artist Ginna Dowling, metal work by Corbin Leonard and artwork created by Norman High School students under the instruction of NHS art teacher Tauri Simms.
The body of work represents intersections of a lifetime’s worth of experiences from Hare, who has gone from a volunteer at the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame to a member of the Executive Council, a member of the selection committee for the Jim Thorpe Award and the prestigious opportunity to paint the recipient each year.
“Art encourages memory and discovery. It allows us to re-connect with what may have been lost or to connect with what may not have been found,” Hare said in his artist statement. “It was my father that first introduced me to Jim Thorpe, a real-life superhero that I would first capture in my 4th grade Oklahoma history project unaware that our paths would one day cross again.”

Oscar Molina is a modern American artist, born in Caracas, Venezuela. Since childhood he enjoyed drawing all kinds of objects in pencil and charcoal, including cartoon characters created by himself. On several occasions, during his pre-adolescence, he tried to paint art using oil paint on canvas, but without knowing the reason then, he did not feel identified with this type of traditional art, since it seemed to him that the landscapes he painted should look as realistic as possible, and that didn't make him feel excited about his work. Well into his teens, he lost interest in art, from which he stayed away for the rest of his youth.
At the age of 18, he entered the Andres Bello Catholic University, where he graduated as an Industrialist (Industrial Management), and spent years practicing his profession, working as a Manager in different companies in the industrial, commercial and service areas. In 2017, due to the complicated socio-political situation that his native country has been going through for several years, he decided to emigrate together with his family to the United States, where from the beginning he settled in the city of Norman, Oklahoma. There, he has held positions as a Machine Operator in different industrial companies, in the production area, for several years.
Despite the fact that Oscar has loved the lifestyle of this country since he was young, that was kind enough to adopt him late in his adulthood, he noticed that from the beginning there was something that made him feel somewhat uncomfortable, and that is the fact of perceiving that in this country, in general terms, decoration and art tend to be scarce in terms of color, which clashes with his Caribbean origin, where color and vitality are fundamental factors. Additionally, his dissatisfaction with the type of jobs he had obtained until now after emigrating, led him to look for a leisure activity and peace of mind, so as a catharsis, he decided to return to art during his free time, which he had not practiced since his early adolescence. Since then, he began to paint works in acrylic paint on canvas, and also digital art through Photoshop, obtaining works of art that reflect the world from a different point of view, original, with great color, joy and optimism, which he decided to sign under the pseudonym “Mölin”.

Fish Without a Sea explores domesticity, family intimacies, and collective memory while monumentalizing the visuality of Persianate and Islamicate visual traditions like miniature painting and Iranian ceramic traditions.
In the Persianate context, miniature paintings have traditionally depicted either folk heroes and heroines or the royalty and their courts and were painted on small sheets of paper with brushes containing just a few hairs to achieve fine details. Here, the tradition of Persian miniatures unites oils with fibers on a large scale while using family archives to illuminate contemporary issues facing the Iranian-American and broader diasporic SWANA (Southwest Asian North African) communities, within the context of migration, state violence, and the intergenerational transmission of knowledge. Oscillating between embodied poetic testimonies and imposed systemic binaries, these portraits exist within a frame to which the subjects are both attached to, but also separate from, so that the patchwork corpus of the brown immigrant body politic is a site of compulsory racialization and transnational state violence wherein dual nationalities result in dual (un)belongings.
Two primary indigenous Iranian ceramic vessels have been reinterpreted for this series: the bird-like, beak-spouted vessels characteristic of Iron Age-era pottery in Iran, and the gamaj, a traditional Gilaki cooking pot which continues to be an essential part of the food culture in the northern Caspian Sea region of Gilan. Though the former was commonly produced throughout the pre-Islamic Iranian plateau and is currently regarded as an ancient Iron Age artefact divorced from its functionality in modern daily life, the latter is a vessel indigenous to a specific region and ethnic culture in Iran that continues to be used today in Gilan. Though they are from two separate time periods and have different statuses in contemporary life, what the beak-spouted vessels and the gamaj share in common is that traditionally they are both earthenware vessels with domestic uses. Reinterpreted here in stoneware, these diasporic vessels represent the symbolic disruption of, and attempted reconnection to, the chain of knowledge about both ancestral Iran and my Gilaki heritage.
This body of work encompasses an artistic practice rooted in both critical archival research and literary history, and uses both hand-painted and transferred calligraphic script. These monumental miniatures and ceramic vessels seek to center both the visuality of overlooked artistic traditions, as well as narratives of domesticity and intimacies that subvert hegemonic representations of an often-misrepresented community.
Ghazal Ghazi (Tehran, Iran, 1990) is a multidisciplinary visual artist whose life has spanned three distinct regions: the Middle East, the U.S., and South America. As an artist, she investigates collective memory and cultural intervention, exploring themes like displacement, language, and state violence through embroidered oil paintings and ceramics.
Most recently, she was chosen as a semifinalist in the National Portrait Gallery’s Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition 2022 at the Smithsonian Institution and served as a 2022 Junior Fellow at the Library of Congress.

It’s a funny affair when one cat crosses paths with you and sticks like glue. Sometimes, that cat keeps you bound to your mental stability. For artist Karson Brooks, that cat is Belmont, and for her this is just another day to nap.
Feline Fine explores both sides of the artist. One side illustrates the mental discourse of depression and mental health, while the other seeks an escape to a world of cartoonish life events. The colorful use of abstract meets Mid-Century Modern is meant to emulate the surroundings and curation of the artist’s home, person, and internal dialogue.
Karson Brooks is an Oklahoma-born artist, currently located in Oklahoma City. Her primary focus is centered around her career as a visual designer and illustrator. Through her self-exploration as an artist, she’s been working on both new and old concepts, one of which includes her cat comic, Belmont and several series that focus on her mental health and bodily autonomy.
Belmont features small windows into the life of her cat Velma, aka: Belmont. Belmont, is the name given to Velma when she’s been a “bad cat”. And while Belmont is baby, Karson hopes that many others see their own little bad kitties through the antics of the two main characters. The comic also highlights her passion for plants, interior decor, and a nod to some of her favorite animators.
As someone who has been managing manic depression since her early teens, the scope of her mental well-being is a heavy concept for her other art pieces. Her earlier concepts that focused on topics such as learning of her own infertility issues to lifelong depression struggles can be seen in their evolution in this exhibit. By combining organic movement with stark contrast of human figures, she unites the two to create a visual understanding of the how her emotions play into the everyday life she presents.
Karson hopes to continue developing these concepts by working toward a more physical presence in the art world. Plans for more physical media are on the horizon, as well as, many more shows she is looking forward to. To stay updated with future shows, artwork, and more, follow her on Instagram under @plight.studio.

Between the Spaces invites the viewer to explore connectivity and art as it pertains to digital versus tactile mediums. Mixing printed portraits with markings painted physically and digitally and then experienced through virtual reality, this project brings those two worlds together. It features 36 printed portraits, 18 of which will be physically embellished, and the other 18 will be virtually painted and viewed using the Artivive app.
The artists welcome viewers to move through the gallery interacting with the different elements of the project, including a polaroid corner for participants to have their picture taken and that Polaroid becomes part of the installation, 3D printed painted orbs on display, an augmented reality orb, a video space for participants to create selfie videos, a collaborative canvas to be raffled off as well as canvas pieces of art.
The virtually-painted portraits can be purchased and viewed again in their homes with the app, expanding the experience of the project beyond gallery walls. It is also the hope of the artists that the participants feel connected and included enough to be a part of the project.

Understanding Place: Perspectives presents artist Liz Roth’s longtime exploration of landscape in many media, including sketches, watercolor, oil painting and prints. The exhibition is organized as a journey around the world beginning with America 101, an exploration of every state in America, and ending with Roth’s ongoing project to render the rich and varied landscapes of the 40th parallel north.
For Roth truly “Understanding Place” involves extensive research as well as sustained looking. The sketchbooks and process material included in the exhibition give a glimpse into both of these practices and the ways in which they contribute to her finished pieces. Perspectives not only includes landscapes seen from different angles and sightlines, but also, more subtly, from different historical and disciplinary contexts. She notes:
Driving across country for America 101 on small roads, and stopping constantly to look at and consider which landscapes to represent forever changed how I view land. I realized I had so much to learn about the many lenses through which I might comprehend a landscape: geomorphology, cultural geography, natural resources, histories of ownership, agriculture, immigration … the list of ways of understanding place was innumerable.

He is the recipient of the R.B. Sprague Endowed Scholarship, Madeline Colbert Steed Scholarship, Robberson Research and Creative Endeavors Grant, Graduate Student Senate Research Grant, and a presenter at the OAEA Annual Conference in 2021. His work examines human ingenuity, the nature of progress, and anthropogenic emergencies that shape our contemporary experience. Murphy sees the language of painting as an expanding one, exploring new technologies and finding ways to integrate them with the medium.
As an educator, Murphy strives to bring the visual arts to students of all ages. At Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma, he brings enthusiasm and clear pedagogical objectives to the classroom. As a developing educator, the foundation of his teaching philosophy includes close collaboration with fellow educators/mentors and coaching art and design students to become independent visual thinkers. He is an instructor/mentor at his community art center and participates in fundraising initiatives for the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition.
/////
This current body of work examines the nature of progress through the lens of abstraction. Images associated with scientific invention, human intention, and anthropogenic impacts create the foundations of image making explorations. In prints, drawings, sculptures and paintings, advances in human knowledge are recorded and transformed into contemporary signs. They explore the human ambition behind the use of these discoveries and the outcomes or implications for contemporary society.
Many of these artworks incorporate emerging technologies, such as 3D modeling, 3D printing and CNC routing, into the art making process. By expanding the traditional toolbox, the language of painting is expanded beyond its tradition framework. This utilization of old and new methods of image making often inform the broader theme of progress.
Critical to these works is the layering of image and color. Multiple images overlap to create visual dialogs that are reinforced through the use of color and paint application. Color is utilized symbolically in many instances, or to convey a specific feeling. Underlying paint layers are often stripped away in a reductive painting process. Together these elements search for ways to unwrap the complexities of our contemporary experience.

Celebrations around food have a way of connecting us to one another while stirring up memories that make sharing a meal such a rich experience. Those moments are even more impactful when they are shared through functional handmade objects. We experience intimacy with others as we simultaneously build a relationship with the vessel. Pottery can be cradled in your hands and raised gently to your lips. It has a history and a story to tell. It becomes a witness and participant to these routines of our daily lives.
My work is often colorful and covered in a variety of patterns and textures inspired by the domestic settings from my childhood. Gold luster embellishes, while small details hide in the folds of the fabric, inviting the viewer the look a little closer. Whether my work is influenced by the pattern on my grandparent’s curtains or the woven threads on my favorite blanket, each piece is a little reminder of home.

From my art practice, I have created an alternate world that reflects our own and the issues within it. Comparing the two worlds in a few ways, one being through environmental issues. These problems are either man made or that of natural disasters, disrupting the balance and order of my universe. The stories that I have developed for this world revolve around the characters that may have not made the best decisions, but are trying their best to help out their world and fellow companions. In these narratives, I have created a series of characters that exist in their own reality, where I build up the environment that they thrive in to show the changes in how they progress. By filling this world with humor, whimsical environments, and chunky creatures, I entice the viewer to participate in my world in a physical and emotional one too. As these stories progress, I expand the world visually and narratively, showing how a character's actions can impact the people and environment they live in. While showing these characters' interactions with one another in my prints, I ask the viewer to reflect, thinking about how our own actions affect the world around us.

The creators of Greenwood Imagine — poet Anthony Curtis Brinkley artist Ebony Iman Dallas and filmmaker Derick Tinsley — combine live performance, poetry, video, and visual art in an effort to immerse visitors in an experience that dissolves the line between past and present. The artists want visitors to contemplate a world that might have existed if the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre had not occurred. Bringing generational trauma to the surface, Greenwood Imagine envelops viewers in the terror Greenwood citizens felt and asks them to link it to their current moment, moving them to acknowledge the trauma, respect it, and subsequently whisk it away to make room for future ideas and identities.
The work is inspired by Brinkley’s poem, “When Dreams Lose Wing''. A combination of poetry, live singing, a short monologue, and a 4-sided, interactive mural created by Ebony invites the audience to imagine Greenwood in a different state. This mural visualizes Greenwood’s proud past, a moment during the massacre, and the future that shares what the future might have been if the massacre had not occurred.
Featured artists include: Tony B, Black Moon Collective Artists (Melody Allen, Aunj Renee Braggs, Elizabeth Henley, nosamyrag and Erica Martez), Marie Casimir, Ebony Iman Dallas, Jeremy Drayton, J'aime Griffith, Tyler James, Leslie Johnson III, Gay Pasley and Derick Tinsley.

MAINSITE Contemporary Art is honored to host an exhibition of works by architect and visual artist Herb Greene. The event marks the first solo exhibition of Greene’s work in Norman, where he studied architecture under Bruce Goff at the University of Oklahoma in the 1950s and built the iconic Prairie House in 1962.
Exploring his collage paintings, architectural structures and the intersection therein, Mapping the Mental Continuum runs from Friday, October 8 through Saturday, November 27 at MAINSITE Contemporary Art, 122 E. Main, Norman, OK.
An opening reception takes place from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, October 8 with a second reception set for 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, November 12, both in conjunction with Norman Arts Council’s 2nd Friday Norman Art Walk.
A catalog of the exhibition, which includes an in-depth interview with Greene in addition to essays and striking images, will be available for purchase at the November reception and preorder in October. A short film is being produced to further document the exhibition, featuring Greene among his artworks and beloved architectural projects across Oklahoma.
A percentage of proceeds from artwork sales will be donated towards a feature length independent documentary film in the making, Remembering the Future with Herb Greene, due for preview screening in Fall of 2022.
Mapping the Mental Continuum surveys Herb Greene’s use of ‘collage thinking’ as a theoretical and aesthetic expression of Organic philosophy. The importance of collage to Greene’s art and architecture manifests itself in the varied and simultaneous perspectives existing within a single image.
Greene’s architectural structures and painting compositions map the mental continuum as a topological space in which thinking, feeling and perception are a unified progression of events. The cognitive process emerges and converges in a world of relation that suggests an overlap of entities in space-time and a widening multiplicity of perceptual vantage points.
The artworks in the exhibit highlight a timeline that spans paintings from 1964-1984, with content that bridges pivotal moments in American history, including three different wars, The Great Depression era and social justice movements. The documentary photographs embedded in the collage paintings, dialogue throughout the exhibition space with three of Greene’s most notable built projects: the Joyce Residence (Snyder, OK, 1959), Prairie House (Norman, OK, 1961) and the Cunningham Residence (Oklahoma City, OK, 1962).
‘Collage thinking’ is Greene’s term for interpreting the world through an integrative perceptual lens as opposed to a bifurcated reality that divides subject/object, figure/ground, interior/exterior, mind/matter and time/space.
Exhibits at MAINSITE Contemporary Art — including Mapping the Mental Continuum — are made possible by support from Norman Arts Council sponsors, including The City of Norman, Mid-America Arts Alliance, Oklahoma Arts Council, National Endowment for the Arts, Fowler Automotive, Oklahoma Department of Commerce and the Kirkpatrick Foundation.
More about Herb Greene
Herb Greene studied architecture under the direction of Bruce Goff (1904–1982), one of the nation’s most original architects and influential architectural educators. Following the retirement of Goff in 1957, Greene taught architecture at the University of Oklahoma for six years, furthering Goff’s legacy and developing his own unique pedagogy.
In 1961, Greene designed and built the Prairie House in Norman, Oklahoma. The idiosyncratic and innovative architecture of Greene’s Prairie House caused an international sensation and was published in Life and Look magazines, Progressive Architecture (St. Martin’s Press), and numerous journals throughout Europe and Japan.
After his retirement from teaching in 1982, Greene moved to Berkeley, California where he continued to write, paint, and promote his concept for building with artists. In 1981, Greene published the book Building to Last: Architecture as Ongoing Art (Architectural Book Publishing, 1981), which incorporates the work of artists and crafts people into built environments and advocates for regional and cultural identity in architectural forms.
Greene’s architectural drawings are in The Art Institute of Chicago’s collection alongside works by Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, Bruce Goff, and other works in the “Prairie Tradition.” Greene’s collage paintings are also in The Art Institute of Chicago’s collection, as well as numerous private collections across the United States.

Three Different Views of Reality features the talents of mother/daughter pair Carolyn and Jana Faseler, along with fellow Norman artist Katie Kimberling.
The trio of local creatives showcase a variety of styles and subject matter, tied together by vibrant compositions and colors.
Read more about these artists here:
Carolyn Faseler
As a teenager, I always thought I’d be a fashion designer or illustrator, but conditions at the time changed all of that. I went to Kansas Wesleyan University in Salina, Kansas, where commercial art wasn’t offered but a fine arts program was. I acquired a teaching degree and a BA in Art which kept me busy in schools—high school and college-- for fifteen years. I will be eternally grateful for that turn of events because I focused on making art which I hadn’t thought of before. In 1969, I received my MA from Fort Hays Kansas State in Hays, Kansas while my husband was flying helicopters in Thailand and Viet Nam.
Since that time, I have traveled to many countries and have visited my share of great museums all over the world. Most recently my husband and I visited Turkey, Greece and Egypt. With all of that exposure to great art, I have discovered that my personality and experience had determined my direction earlier. That is, toward gesture making where speed and concentration are the dominating forces. I try to make my paintings look effortless by working the painting over and over —sometimes as many as twenty times.
Jana Faseler
I was born in 1965 surrounded by the yellow wheat fields in Kansas, but my very early memories were the shades of red, orange, and carnation pink that lined the jumbo box of my Crayola Crayons — the one with the sharpener in the back. In my family, creating art was just something you did, like breathing; natural and necessary for life. My mother, my mentor, filled my world with sights and sounds of art in all forms. My dad never complained each time he had to repaint the living room wall that I liked to use as a canvas.
Expanding into different media over the years as a potter, a sculptor, and a sketch artist—I have ultimately come to love the buttery texture of oil paints and the luscious look of the finished painting. My imagination can run wild! I would love to say I am inspired by glorious nature, fiery sunsets, sparkly oceans —but really what inspires me is … art itself. When I am standing in front of a work of art I am inspired and motivated by the creative dance I see played out through the chosen medium of the artist. I absolutely love to interact with art. A charming subject or even a simple brushstroke can inspire me. And as my thoughts swirl around in my head it challenges me to reach deeper for my own expression and to find my own interpretation. I want to delight my audience the same as I am delighted by works of art. When I see people looking at my paintings and smiling and even giggling it makes me feel joy! I create playful and positive compositions, happy colors, and feel-good scenes that I hope will inspire and shape positive emotions.
Katie Kimberling
Katie Kimberling is a proud, fifth-generation Oklahoman (actually descended from a true, gun-toting, cannon-jumping Sooner) who loves to help high school and college students navigate the rocky waters and roiling waves of academia mixed with adolescence. She’s a certified Academic Coach and owner of TutorPUG in Norman, which provides private tutoring in (nearly) every subject. (Calculus, yes. Portuguese, no.)
Katie grew up in Oklahoma City, was a “lifer” at Casady School, and attended Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine and the University of Oklahoma. She holds a BS in Zoology and an MPH in Biostatistics and Epidemiology from OU.
Her art journey is much like her golf game – long moments of boredom interspersed with brief bouts of either sheer horror or ordained miracles. She’s loved art all her life, and dabbled in drawing, painting, writing and ceramics throughout high school. No brag, but she won first prize in the second grade art show for her critically acclaimed piece “Raindrops on Window” (which was really just a happy accident of having little control over water in watercolor class).
Sometime around 2014 she discovered the Firehouse Art Center in Norman. It began with acrylic landscape painting (not for her), which led to several drawing classes with Craig Swan (real naked people! Actually, not as awkward as you might think …) and a pottery class with Dan Harris, where she specialized in wibbly lumps of clay that serve zero purpose, other than to serve as a chock for an airplane or weigh down a dead body.
She finally stumbled into studio painting with Carol Armstrong, whom she considers her art sensei. Here she was allowed to paint whatever she wanted, in any medium, and was encouraged to try oils, which had formerly terrified her. But the easy and forgiving nature of oils, plus Ms. Armstrong’s tutelage and encouragement, allowed her to explore her inner whimsy and lifelong love of color, animals, and just overall silliness. She’s had a brush in her hand ever since.
Mostly, Katie paints and gifts them to friends and family. All but two of her paintings include an animal of some kind, and she is currently working on the series of oil paintings “Los Perros de San Miguel,” inspired by the colors, doors, and dogs of San Miguel de Allende in central Mexico.
When she’s not painting really, really whimsical, goofy paintings, Katie is tutoring in calculus or statistics, performing in Taco ‘Bout It (an improvisational comedy troupe), writing comedy sketches for her Second City workshop, or being outside in nature.
Katie is married to Michael, and lives in Norman with her pug, Stevie, whose favorite hobby is barking at … the air.

This body of work features visual choreographies between our desires (represented by the free brushstrokes) and the rules and values we internalize throughout our lives (represented by the grid planes). While negotiating desires and values, we make important choices with strong impacts in our lives.
I studied at the Yale School of Art for four years. Then, I moved with my family to Oklahoma, where I got an MFA in Painting from the University of Oklahoma. I have worked as a painter for the last 10 years, having made exhibits and done curatorial work in the US (New York, NY; New Haven, CT; West Haven, CT; Norman, OK) and in Brazil. Currently, I teach at Firehouse Art Center and at the University of Oklahoma. I am also a member of the Norman Arts Council.

The Left Hand of Liminality features works by Oklahoma City artists Denise Duong and Gabriel Friedman
Denise Duong is a Vietnamese American artist and muralist from Oklahoma City, OK. Growing up with an immigrant family in a city that cultivated individual’s imaginations helped feed the beast of curiosity. This created an intrigue of what was beyond boundaries, state lines, oceans, skies, and emotions which played and continues to play an integral part of her inspiration and creativity. The narrative works on canvas are created with acrylic paint, paper, watercolor and ink. When she’s not in her Oklahoma City studio painting, you can find her somewhere in the world drawing, water coloring, or painting on walls indoor and out. The allegory in her works are narrated through the interwoven figures and characters. Each little scene working with another. It’s the story within the story.
Gabriel Friedman is an Oklahoma City-based sculptural and large scale 3D artist, photographer, builder, teacher and father. He received his education at the San Francisco, Chicago and Boston Arts Institutes. His works and mediums are site specific, ranging from the whimsical to the absurd. He has training and extensive experience in a variety of materials and mediums including carpentry and woodworking, naturally harvested materials, metal and welding, blacksmithing, general construction and contracting etc. His works reflect his intent to create a long lasting positive impact with a focus on his immediate community. Gabriel creates each piece unique in form and function.
These are unruly times…. when the lungs of invention are urgently heaving and the mirror of humanity is straining not to lose its gaze upon us. The Left Hand of Liminality is the rebellious force of creation at a time of such transformation. When the order of things has been suspended, it is the emergence of that warm swirl of air full of a new life, seducing your very core, telling you silently to close your eyes and confidently take the unmarked path…. It’s the trouble maker at the crossroads. These works are an unavoidable stab at reflecting upon the existential tsunami of the world pressing in on our own blossoming creative intimacy (art and family). It’s two people exploring the seeds of inspiration.

Artist Statement
Other Places (2021) is a group of paintings exploring imagined, alien-like landscapes. Painted over an eight-month period during the height of the pandemic, these pictures became a daily meditation on color, form, and place. These works draw inspiration from both the natural world and science fiction and within them you will see a variety of rock-like structures, UFOs, portals, and orbs. These themes appear throughout my practice and evolve with each series as I explore new ideas.
Biography

Visual Poetry on the Page: With, Within, and Without the Word explores a movement that asks viewers to read the works as visual art. Unlike concrete, written poems, a visual poem “typically includes many other elements than alphabetic text,” including any number of mediums or artist manipulation, including painting, photos, digital manipulation or any other means to “obliterate the boundary between visual arts and literature.”
“Visual poetry is what we can see,” organizer Crag Hill said in his curator statement. “It can be what we see when we see within, behind, and beyond words, when we see through parts of words, through and with letters, parts of letters, the ineffable marks we make on and in spaces we inhabit and aspire to live with and for.”
The exhibition includes dozens of works by a number of visual poets from across the world, including Rosaire Appel, Bill DiMichele, Scott Helmes, Stephen Nelson, Robin Tomens and more.
Water and Land is a collection of recent works by Liontas-Warren centered on the passages, time and motion, and the symbolism water and land have come to represent in those concepts.
“Water represents my desire to return to my birth state and meditatively embrace the powerful waves of the sea, which capture my heart and spirit, while the land is an anchor, describing my surroundings at a certain time and moment in my life,” Liontas-Warren said in her artist statement for the exhibition. “As I embrace both water and land in an intimate and curious way, I realize that my life is constantly in motion and that the aging process is a normal ascension into another chapter of my life.”
Liontas-Warren is an accomplished artist and resident of Oklahoma since 1984. A professor of art at Cameron University, she was awarded the Oklahoma Governor’s Art and Education Award in 2014, receipient of the Bhattacharya Research Excellence Award, a member of the Cameron University Faculty Hall of Fame and winner of the Artist of the Year distinction by the Paseo Art Association.
She has exhibited in over 450 shows throughout the United States and abroad. The Museum of Texas Tech University recently acquired 90 works by Liontas-Warren for the Artist Printmaker Research Collection.
