"Vicissitude" is the word that started our professional development on expanding our student’s vocabulary. I thought that is title for my blog post for that week. Good or bad there were more unexpected things than those that were expected.
It started with a small car accident, doctor’s appointments, and a couple of school happenings that I was not awaiting. That is the bad. The good was that on our way to the OSU-Okc Farmers Market, we stopped by the City Arts Center to see the work of Kate Rivers and Barbara Robinette Moss.
The better news is that Ezri and I were invited to the Artist Talk. It was very interesting. Kate Rivers walked us through her creative process. She spoke of the story behind some of her works and how she gathers inspiration.
We also heard Narciso Arguelles and Cassandra Wozniak speak. One day I will share my thoughts on that. Today we will stick to the optimistic happenings.
Aside from getting to hear the artists speak, Ezri and I were both extremely pleased to see Kim Camp and Michi Susan there. We are both big fans of their work. Ezri couldn’t resist asking for a picture. She was so excited. We love going to the JRB Art Gallery to see both their works. They make us so very happy. I hope to one day have at least one of each of their works in my home. I would even share with Ezri.
If I were a writer, I would make up fabulous stories to go with the characters that Kim creates. I admire her courage to go against the grain and use clay and color in an unconventional way in order to get those bright colors and details that finish the work perfectly.
Oh, I also got a little time to visit Sheridan’s gallery. She was so kind to request to exhibit some of my jewelry. I have the honor of having my work alongside some great metalsmiths. One of these artists is Elyse Bogart from Norman. She creates incredible landscapes with a collection of stones and precious metals. How lucky am I?!
I also took a short trip to the Oklahoma City Museum of Art to view their The Dutch Italianates: 17th-century Masterpieces exhibit. It is a breathtaking experience. I will have to go back and take time to really take it all in.

Wow, the arts are flourishing in Oklahoma! Where shall I find the time for it all?
So, I thought I would share some more fantastic art that is created by our talented Oklahoma artists. I hope that you will take some time and support the arts in Oklahoma. There is art for all interests. I am sure you will find some work that will enrich your life in many ways.
