Join us on Saturday the 11th while we spend some time with two of this month's featured artists. The renowned oil painter, Mike Wimmer, will give a demonstration of some of his techniques, and Jason Cytacki will discuss his dramatic, large-scale oil paintings of action figure dioramas. This event is free and open to the public.

Mike Wimmer was born and raised in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Though he didn’t pursue a formal art education in his youth, Wimmer worked as an apprentice for the famous illustrator, Don Ivan Punchatz, where he honed his talents. Now an accomplished illustrator and artist, Mike has created the new, more kind and gentle “Mr. Clean,” the cover for The Lion King Soundtrack, many award-winning children’s book covers, and large historic murals in the Oklahoma Capitol Building. Mike has been commissioned to create artwork for American Airlines, Proctor & Gamble, Reader’s Digest, Disney, Kimberly Clark, Southwestern Bell and AT&T.

Jason Cytacki is the new Assistant Professor of Painting at Oklahoma University. Jason earned his B.F.A. from Indiana University South Bend in 2003, and his M.F.A. from the University of Notre Dame in 2011. His research examines the American character and its construction through history, popular culture and mythology. Utilizing characters and images drawn from popular culture, he explores the way Americans view themselves and their country. His recent work has dealt extensively with exploring Frontier mythology, in particular the continued importance in the popular imagination.

We are also featuring the outstanding work of Tracey Harris, Sara Scribner, David Crismon and Debby Kaspari this month. You don't want to miss this show!
