MARCH EXHIBIT FEATURING "HOLD YOUR HORSES"

LEARN MORE

Edmond Fine Arts (EFA) is proud to present “Hold Your Horses,” a dynamic gallery exhibition featuring new works by Lauren Florence and Jennifer Cocoma Hustis.

 

The exhibition opens on Thursday, March 6, from 5:00-7:00 p.m., inviting the public to experience a collection of contemporary Western-themed art through diverse mediums, including drawing, painting, printmaking, and mixed media.

Both artists bring unique perspectives to the intersection of Western imagery and contemporary artistic expression. Lauren Florence, a figurative painter, explores the intricate relationships between people and animals in her work. Often drawing inspiration from vintage photographs, she layers vibrant colors and elements to create compelling narratives. Florence aims to evoke moments of awe and wonder, crafting work that is “immediately joyful, with narratives that give the viewer pause, pique their interest, and transport them in a positive way.”

A native of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, Florence was deeply influenced by the art collections at Woolaroc Museum and Wildlife Refuge. The wildlife and people of her home state continue to shape her artistic vision today. She holds a BFA in Textile Design from the University of Kansas and began her painting career in her early 40s.

Jennifer Cocoma Hustis is known for her expressive, large-scale paintings and drawings of horses and wildlife. Her current work explores equine imagery and the symbolic role of animals as messengers through India ink drawings and dimensional printmaking. Hustis holds a Master’s Degree from Pratt Institute, NY, and has built a career that bridges both art and education. She is the founder of Art of Horsemanship LLC, where she teaches art and horsemanship to students of all ages.

Her work is housed in both private and museum collections across the country. In addition to her fine art practice, Hustis has collaborated with museums and galleries to develop interactive educational art exhibits. She has also combined her love for art and animals by writing and illustrating children’s books that educate young readers on the life lessons animals can teach us.

The “Hold Your Horses” exhibition at Edmond Fine Arts will be a celebration of the Western spirit through a contemporary lens, offering viewers an engaging and thought-provoking artistic experience.
