About the Artist:

Abby Stiglets

I was born in Fort Worth, Texas and moved to Edmond, Oklahoma to start high school. I graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma as anArt Major with a Minor is Psychology.

I enjoy painting because its therapeutic for me. I feel more confident andable to communicate better than in person. I usebold colors thatpush for the attention that I would normally try toretreat from.I allow myselfto be open and let the viewer in.

I, like many others, battle with social anxiety.I get easily flusteredand so afterward,I tend to dwell on conversations that happened and repeat them over and over in my head. I wonder if I said something wrong or if I came off a certain way, or if they could tell I was holding back. I have a constant fear of being exposed, someone seeing through my mask. I show this struggle sometimesin my work,with symbolism, like anatomical hearts or bird cages.

My latest work is centered around the greenery of plants, especially Pothos/Devil’s Ivy. I show them coming out of heads to representgrowing the mind andthe thirst for knowledge. During the early stages of the pandemic, myhusband and I got to step back, away from our work and other tasks that would consume us, andfocus solely on ourtwo daughters. It was a blessing amidst all the chaos. My plant pieces remind me of how we grew as a family learning about ourselves and each other.

My paintings are created using water-mixable oil paints called Max by Grumbacher.They have the advantages of oil paint without the use of pungent solvents and can be mixed with acrylic paint and/orregularoil paint.

My art is full of influences.I am inspired by the surrealist work of Salvador Dali, the women featured in Gustav Klimt’s pieces, Frida Kahlo’s reflective self-portraits andpop surrealist artists like Mark Ryden, Mab Graves,Greg "Crayola" Simkins, and Naoto Hattori. I also like to study fashion and religious imagery.

Angel Jaramillo

Painting as early as two years old, it was only a matter of time before Angel Jaramillo’s imagination took flight to create a masterpiece. Angel is self taught and specializes in drawing, painting, and mixed media. Her work has been displayed in several shows across three states and has taken several awards. Her body of work includes well over a hundred pieces at this point in time.

Starting her artistic journey in Tennessee and later continuing on in Florida, she is heavily influenced by the mountains and ocean she once called home.

Angel took a brief hiatus from her work during 2018-2020 after a difficult divorce that led to homelessness, but has since returned to pursuing her art career full time with new fervor. Angel participates in several exhibitions each month and teaches weekly acrylic classes at The Community Art Gallery. A 28 year old Oklahoma resident, Angel is a full time Christian artist, art teacher, and homeschooling mother of three.

About the Artist:

Jennifer Husmann

From the earliest of age, art has been a medium of self-expression for me. The canvas and palette are my song and voice and color has long been my symphony.

From art classes in school, to collaborating with my family’s art collection to sitting on arts councils and volunteering for the arts, art has always been a fundamental part of my life. It was not until 2016 that I reunited with brush and canvas and began to create once more. The ability to create and express brings an inner joy and peace and abstract art becomes my channel to other’s self- interpretation. My art becomes an intensely personal process that allows viewers to experience my abstract impressions with their own interpretations. Color and texture are my means. Layers of colors and textures excite the senses and elevate the emotional and physical mood. The use of many different mediums and paints make each color explode on the canvas with the rise and fall of each stroke. My paintings are expressed and captured to create a new and unique experience with each viewing.

About the Artist:

Scott Vo

Photography has always been a passion of mine when I was young. My father had a film camera and I would volunteer to take the pictures on my family outings.

I always wanted a camera for myself and always asked for one for any gift-giving occasion. I finally got one! I started with a tiny point-and-shoot I received for Christmas and fell in love with taking portraits.

I remember I had a crush on this girl and all I wanted was to take her portrait. Being a shy little boy, I managed to muster up my confidence and asked her if I can take a picture.

She said sure and I took a few simple photos of her. I was so excited and proud of myself! After the “photoshoot” was done, I tucked my camera into my backpack and went to lunch.

During lunch, all I could think about was going home to load the photos to the computer and practice editing. After lunch, I returned to the room. I was looking through my backpack to get my camera out so I can review the photos.

While my hopes were up, they quickly descended into that deep pit in my stomach. My camera was gone. Someone had stolen my precious camera and gone with it, my photos that I worked so hard to get.

I was heartbroken. I learned a valuable lesson that day. Granted, I was barely a teenager when this happened but I look back at that day and would say that was the moment I fell in love with photography.

I dabble in most mediums of art. Photography is by far my favorite medium. The photographs I capture are digital and film. I enjoy challenging myself with photography and that led into my underwater portrait series. The culinary arts is also a medium I enjoy. It’s the only art that nourishes. Beauty is all around us.

About the Artist:

Jason Wilson

Forty years ago, a young boy watched his Native American grandmother design, assemble and sew his family’s quilts.  Today, contemporary Perceptual artist, Jason Wilson, influenced by his grandmother’s quilts, gives new life to old concepts.

To produce Perceptual Art, the artist must:  conceive; mathematically calculate; plot; draw; and finally paint his design on canvas.  Jason says his designs are about building the painting as much as painting the painting…involving hours of construction.  To this end, Wilson developed his own special acrylic paint formula to hand paint his canvas.  The result is a technically perfect, remarkably flawless finished canvas.

Perceptual Art asks its audience to visually or emotionally interact with the design.  Some Perceptual Art appears to shimmer and shift while other designs may, for example, provide a sense of serenity and grace.  By bringing his designs to life, Jason Wilson hopes to delight and inspire others.

About the Artists:

Olivia Lynn Means

Olivia Headshot.JPG

I’m Olivia Lynn Means. I am the face behind Olivia Lynn Art. I am a Christ follower, mother of 3 amazing kids, firefighter wife, and hairdresser. I was born in Oklahoma City where I lived until first grade when my father’s job relocated us to Arlington, TX.

I have always had a love for art! In junior high and high school, I took art classes, which is where my love for painting began! After graduating, I knew I wanted to attend hair school.

In 2002, I became a hair dresser and have been behind the chair ever since! I consider hair dressing a form of art and my clients are my canvases! I’ve always loved being creative and making things beautiful!

During the pandemic, I was drawn back to paint brushes and blank canvases. I found such peace and stillness in my paintings. I felt a nudge from God to pursue this gift He has given me, and with the encouragement of family and friends... so it began!


Lizzie DiSilvestro

Lizzie Headshot.jpeg

 My name is Lizzie DiSilvestro, a neutral magpie with a colorful personality. Originally from Kansas City, I grew up in a loud and passionate family that taught me self-expression as a basic instinct and necessity to get a word in at the dinner table. Fiery, honest and emotional since the womb, I’ve never known another way of being. Without the help of my parents and paternal grandmother, Grandy, encouraging my creative pursuits, who knows how that energy would have manifested. I believe it was Grandy’s love of the word ‘joy’ and appreciation for the little things that inspires the subject matter of my work to this day. Given the chaotic and dizzying pace of my mind, I use painting and fiber arts to both achieve and illustrate the state of humble fulfillment I find so precious.

Trained as a nurse, I’m fortunate to have constant reminders of how we can find joy amidst turmoil and love during pain. My dad used to tell me, “Most of life is not spent in the highs or lows, but somewhere right in the middle,” and that’s always rung so true for me. Very rarely do we have a ramp up to the opulent moments in life, instead they exist right alongside the mundane, coming up out of nowhere. But if we can find joy in those languid “in-between times” we won’t lead a life of continual wanting. To me, there is nothing more beautiful than the contentedness and warm simplicity that results from finding joy in the ordinary.

About the Artists:

Connie Rish

20210129_104007.jpg

“I cannot remember a time when I did not love to create art. Even though I went on to other things in my adult life, I always returned to my first love. When I found myself at a point in life that I could choose what I wanted for “Me”, I chose art. I sought out professional training, and found the perfect fit, at the Conservatory for Classical Art, in Edmond, OK.

After completing the intensive four year atelier classes, and one year of independent study, I completely submerged myself in all forms of art mediums, ultimately choosing all things of Nature, Landscape, and Botanicals in Oils. Experiencing Nature always brings me peace, and I continually find myself in awe of its beauty. With the botanicals, I prefer to represent them in a super enlarged format.

This perspective draws the viewer in, on a very intimate level, to the subjects magnificently engineered design. The classical discipline is always present, but many of the impressionistic principles find their way into my work as well.” - Connie


Shelby Mae

Mae_headshot.jpg

Shelby Mae of Salt Fork Art graduated with a Fine Art degree and a minor in Art History from Oklahoma State University. She has exhibited in shows such as: Small Works in Clifton Springs, NY, El Corazon in Dallas, TX and Once Upon a Time in Stillwater, OK. In 2021 Mae looks forward to participating in the Stillwater Arts Festival and in the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition’s Momentum show.

“My paintings are inspired by nature. I utilize the “dirty pour” method of fluid art, which is an abstract form of art that uses acrylic paints with a thinned consistency.”   

The dirty pour includes layering these thinned acrylic paints in a cup which is then flipped upside down onto a canvas. Once the cup is pulled away the acrylic paint colors mix and flood over the canvas surface. Gravity, straws, palette knives and a torch help to finish the composition creating the final look of these paintings.

About the Artists:

Teresa Groeneveld

Teresa is a proud Oklahoma daughter, mother and artist. Born in Almagordo New Mexico on Holloman Air Force Base, her only memories are of growing up in Oklahoma on Tinker Air Force Base. She ended up settling nearby in Midwest City, graduated from MWC Highschool, Home of the BOMBERS. Teresa has been married and divorced. As a single mom, she raised two beautiful humans and couldn’t be more proud of her daughter and son.

Teresa started exploring her artistic side in 2015 when she went through a domestic violence situation and becoming an empty nester, it provided an outlet for her and gave her the therapy she didn’t know she needed.

After discovering fluid art pouring in 2017, she was hooked on the technique. From canvas to functional to wearable art… the possibilities are unlimited. With the excess paint that runs off whatever she’s pouring on, is then use in her jewelry.

In 2019, Teresa entered her very first art contest at the Oklahoma State Fair with two fluid art pieces and her one and only watercolor. She was over the moon to bring home a first place, third place and a tenth place ribbon! Most recently in 2020, two of her pieces were exhibited in the virtual online gallery with the Bartlesville Art Association.

Teresa’s preferred medium are acrylics as most of her work is of mixed media and acrylic fluid art. She love working with fluid acrylics because each piece is unique and one-of-a-kind. You can try to duplicate using the exact same colors and technique, but still come out different each time.


”Fluid art in particular has taught me a few things. First, is patience. Second is, it’s OK to let go of things I cannot control. And lastly, to appreciate the beauty in the imperfections. Life is messy and beautiful all in one. Embrace it. I hope you can see the beauty in my art .” - Teresa

First Friday Louisville Artwalk Event Featuring Local Artist Cheryl Browder

Join us for an amazing celebration of art and community. We are so excited to be exhibiting the talented Cheryl Browder.

Artist Statement

For almost 40 years Cheryl Browder has lived in Gunnison, Colorado.  In this amazing setting she has found inspiration for her plein air and studio landscape paintings.  Cheryl has been drawing and painting for most of her life.  Encouraged by her family, she took art lessons when she was quite young, then continued her studies at Massachusetts College of Art, graduating with a BFA in Graphic Design in 1980.  Later, nurturing her lifelong interest in art, she studied painting with artists she admired and respected through workshops.

An avid hiker, Cheryl has developed a love of the outdoors that influences her artwork today.  She draws upon her time outside to provide inspiration for her pastel paintings.  As a representational artist, she is constantly striving to capture the values, colors and atmosphere of the landscape, which she finds is best done through direct observation.  The pastel medium allows for spontaneity and brilliant color as the pure pigment is applied and mixed directly to the paper’s surface.

Cheryl is a current member of the Pastel Society of Colorado.
