ANTHEA WITH ARTIST DENAE SMITH

We are thrilled to welcome Denae Smith as the exhibiting artist for January! Her exhibition is titled "Anthea," a flower name meaning blossomed, or something already brought into being. Smith is a visual artist, born and raised in Oklahoma, whose acrylic mixed media practice blends realism, abstraction, and surrealism to examine personal identity and cultural memory. Her work incorporates textural materials such as dried flowers, fabric, and plaster, creating layered surfaces that flow between two- and three-dimensional space. She has exhibited at multiple galleries in Oklahoma City, participated as a muralist for Sunny Dayz Mural Festival, and most recently shown at Red Dot Miami.
This exhibition will run in the John McNeese gallery from January 6-30, with the opening reception January 10 from 2-4pm. Be sure to stop by and meet the artist, or check out more of her work at https://www.denaeelise.com/.
