Her early exposure (no pun intended) to the love of photography instilled creative mind and spirit that continued to develop through adulthood. Finding inspiration through many different styles of art, she pursues to create with energy and intuition. Janetta has been a professional photographer for over 15 years and provides her clients architectural, landscape, and business-related photographs.

Their influence has helped continue the challenge and her growth as an artist. Item No. 3 - Patricia Triplett "Water's Edge" - Chair

Patricia Triplett is the co-owner of the North Gallery & Studio. She works with a variety of components to create art that oftentimes builds its own story. Love of texture has become a basic strand throughout her process. Spending a number of years in the world of real estate, she developed a penchant for architecture and design, which she uses to blend color and style with a longtime passion for history. Several years ago, she took advantage of the opportunity to participate in a painting class mentored by the world-renowned expressionist artist, Bert Seabourn. In recent years, she has enjoyed the occasion to study with other professional artists to strengthen both her style and her technique. She continues to explore other expressionist art and weave that thread throughout her creative approach.

“Where imagination, skill and creativity come together, art lives. I hope to impart these elements into each of my pieces of art. In so doing, I hope to evoke some form of emotion form the viewer. It may be passion, sadness, joy, inspiration, or mere pleasure.” Item No. 4 - Bert Seabourn “Bluebird of Happiness - Chair”

Internationally acclaimed American expressionist, Bert Seabourn, who lives in Oklahoma City is a painter, printmaker, sculptor, and teacher and experiments extensively with creative vitality.

Bert was a Navy Journalist/Artist during the Korean War who returned to Oklahoma City to study at Oklahoma City University. He worked as an illustrator, graphic design artist and art director before becoming a full-time painter of fine art in 1978. At OCU, Bert was inspired by painter and instructor Roger White and began experimenting with abstract painting. Abstract expressionism became the style for which Bertmis known in addition to Native American subject matter. His sculpture, ‘Wind Walker’, a 23-foot tall bronze was unveiled in Oklahoma City. Paintings should contest the creative elements: order versus chaos; contemplative versus emotional; raw versus refined. I try to make each piece of art a unique fusion of design, color, form, composition, using a layering of texture with drips, smears, runs and splatters. My work is like the Oklahoma wind, ever changing, growing, and finding new directions. This is what keeps my life and, hopefully, my art interesting. I love to paint, and I hope it shows.” Item No. 5 - Mikel Davison "Sitting Tall" - Chair

Buffalo, birds and black labs inspire Duncan artist Mikel Davison. So does Oklahoma history. Incorporating the everyday ordinary into his artwork, Davison combines the quirky personalities of animals, like his black lab, with the rich history of Oklahoma to create unique pieces – all with a story.

Carving cigar store Indians from 100-year- old fallen trees, finding reclaimed wood that becomes useful home furniture and décor, and cast-off windows for his canvases, Davison believes in using what is available.

The Alva-born native, gained his love of history from his father, and his creative inquisitiveness from his mother. But art didn’t put him through school. It was basketball. It’s what paid the bills. (He’s 6’9”) – In recent years though, he’s found a way to do what he loves and manages to combine education, history, sport and art.

Davison attended East Central University in Ada on a basketball scholarship, with hopes of getting an art degree. “I was told you can’t be an athlete and an artist. Basketball was paying and art wasn’t. So I ended up going into education. I put the paintbrush down.”

In his 30s, he returned to college – University of Science & Arts of Oklahoma, to get his art degree. He dabbled in art, until about three years ago when he decided to really put his own personality and interests into the efforts. Every piece he creates is inspired by the piece he is working on, whether it is barbed wire found in his pasture, or wood and windows reclaimed from a dumpster. Item No. 6 - Rory Morgan "Summer Aspens" - Chair

Rory Morgan has been painting for the past 40 years since receiving an art degree from Casper College in Casper, Wyoming. Growing up in Wyoming, Rory became an observer of nature. His art reflects his interest in art of the outdoors and his love for wildlife.

During his nearly 42 years working in the Wyoming oil and gas industry, Rory continued to develop an expanding and deep love for nature and wildlife. He spent countless Wyoming hours hiking the mountains, hunting, fishing, or taking photos. Rory transferred that love of the outdoors into wildlife and landscape paintings. His subject matter often includes bears, swans, buffalo, blue birds and Canadian geese, as well as landscapes.

Rory’s work in the oil and gas industry required a move to Edmond, Oklahoma where he currently resides with his wife. Rory’s artwork has taken on a new dimension incorporating all that this state has to offer in beauty from the Wichita Mountains to the breath-taking sunsets and redbud trees.

“I love to paint anywhere there’s peaceful quiet. I do love the Wichitas. I like to drive down country roads … Red Rock Canyon, Grand Lake … the southeastern Oklahoma foothills’ pretty colors … just about anything that catches my eye in color.” Item No. 9 - Diana Robinson "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" - Chair

Diana Robinson’s art career began at an early age with prizes at the State Capitol and ribbons from the State Fair. Her artistic voice was dormant for years, silenced by other studies in college, followed by a life as a wife and mother. After a two-decade hiatus, Diana returned to her familiar medium, clay. Looking for a more daring personal challenge with greater risks, Diana began to paint. Her oils on canvas were immediately featured around Oklahoma City and recognized at juried art shows.

“I remember my first blended blush of embarrassment and pride when my one of my pieces won an award in an elementary school contest. Being so shy, I hated all the attention, but I quickly realized that my art let me talk to people without using words. Although now I’m markedly less shy, and my art has transformed and developed through many iterations, I use my canvas as a second language that lets me communicate and share with people. I paint because I breathe. It’s automatic and vital. I use my art to capture those fleeting moments of beauty and life.” Item No. 8 - Jo Anne Kotlowski "For You, A Mockingbird. From, Mama." - Chair

Jim Sharp’s artistic talent surfaced late in life. After his father died in early 2016, his daughter suggested he try his hand at something he had always wanted to do but had never pursued. As he thought about her suggestion, he recalled that as a lad he had always wanted to paint.

One Christmas, when he was 10, his parents gave him Jon Gnagy’s “Learn to Draw” kit. Gnagy was known as America’s original TV art teacher. Sharp learned about shading, shadows, and perspective, but couldn’t keep up with Gnagy’s quick-handed drawings from the TV show.

Starting in his teens, he watched Bill Alexander and later Bob Ross on PBS as they produced landscape oil paintings and Sharp thought, I could do that. With his daughter’s nudge, realized if he was ever going to try his hand at painting, it was now or never.

Sharp attended Jerry Yarnell’s School of Art, workshops and open studio time where he received one-on-one instruction and was encouraged to study master artists and to get acquainted with local art instructors.

Although I've always enjoyed the arts and have dabbled in photography and pottery, I didn't pick up a paint brush until 2015 when I took a few classes at Oklahoma Contemporary Arts under the supervision of Bert Seabourn. That experience is what lead me to be creative again. I've always tended to see images or designs in just about everything I see. Whether it's a tree or in the tiles on the floor, sometimes it's a face and other times it's a scene, you just have to be paying attention to what you're looking at.

Now that I'm retired, I have the time to explore different colors, textures and styles to find my favorite. With this abstract piece I was inspired to go back to designs I drew and colored as a child to get this mid-century modern spin on a more traditional shape of chair.
