Hay on the Way to Prairie Grove
I am an oil painter who enjoys painting scenes from life — the way dappled light covers a forest floor, rural life in the country, and beautiful places visited that need to be remembered forever.

Whispers in Motion
Artist Statement – Karen Wagaman My work is rooted in exploration—of color, texture, and the endless ways creativity can connect people. Whether working in acrylic, watercolor, digital art, or mixed media, I approach each piece as an opportunity to merge technique with intuition. My background in studio art informs my practice with a respect for craft, while my training in business administration gives me an appreciation for the broader role creativity plays in building creative communities.

Abandoned on Mill Street
Drawing on both my agrarian upbringing and professional experience as a craftsman builder, I am curious about imagery reflecting our collective search for, and creation of, place in the world. including our natural instinct to expand as well as our boundless optimism and appetite for it.

Castaways Return: Raw, Refined, Repurposed
My approach to creating, as well as the media in which I work, is non-traditional. I combine painting/ illustration with assemblage to create original works of art. I collect found objects: bones, fragments of machinery, orphaned pieces of anything strange and unusual. I draw inspiration from nature, history, spirituality, folklore from cultures, scientific experiments, tattooing, Gothic literature and aesthetics, and cinema, particularly classic horror and Sci-Fi films. Visit Ozark Beer Company during Art on the Bricks to see the collaborative exhibition, Castaways Return: Raw, Refined, Repurposed, the artwork of Angela Teeter, Amy Terry and Aaron Jones.
