GALLERY I - Unbroken Fragments - Erin & Samuel Shaw
Unbroken Fragments is the collaborative exhibit between mother and son artist duo Erin Shaw and Samuel Shaw. Erin and Samuel have been working on collaborative exhibits since 2010, when Samuel was five years old. Both of their works embody their American Indian heritage and what their ancestors endured. This body of work is meant to represent the bond between the two artists and act as a window into the conversations and experiences they have shared over the years. With these reflections, both artists aim to portray the importance of remembering your heritage.
GALLERY II - Brent Learned, George Curtis Levi, and Garry Wright
In Gallery II, Brent Learned, George Curtis Levi and Garry Wright will be on display in a special group art show. Learned is an artist from Oklahoma who draws, paints and sculpts. An enrolled member of the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma, Learned appreciates the heritage and culture of the American Plains Indian. Levi is a multi-media artist and member of the Southern Band of the Cheyenne people. He is also Southern Arapaho and Oglala Lakota. Wright is an artist from Oklahoma who uses a scroll saw on birch wood to create high contrast artwork and portraits.
GALLERY III - Mindful Places - Kevin Thomas
Mindful Places is the solo exhibit of oil painter Kevin Thomas. Thomas specializes in illustration, graphic design and currently teaches art at Edmond Santa Fe High School. As the exhibit title implies, Thomas’s body of work portrays his idea of “mindful places.” To Thomas, these are scenes of beauty that are “still, yet moving.” These can include scenes of the countryside or the ocean. When exploring this exhibit, the viewer is encouraged to find appreciation in their environments and the impact of simplicity.
