Exhibition and Mural

My paintings for Central High School to encourage reading are installed in the school.

On November 8th at 2:50pm I will be displaying paintings that are installed within the Central High School dance room.

These paintings embrace the theme of teamwork through literacy. Students blast from stars to chase flowing pages.

Beyond literacy, this project serves to show the limitless potential of young people through a fantastical lens.

The stories in fantasy and science-fiction are metaphors for the dreams and hopes that we all have and the difficulties that we overcome.

The Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition Community Artist Partnership Grant sponsored this project.

Central High School Dance Room 3101 W Edison St, Tulsa, OK 74127
