Visiting an artist open house is more than just looking at art — it’s stepping into the artist’s world. Expect a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, open conversation, and the chance to see creativity up close. Whether you buy or browse, your visit supports the heart of the art community — connection, inspiration, and appreciation for the creative journey.

Painted during the Oklahoma City Painting Palooza with artist Mark Aguilar, Guardian of the Green captures the quiet strength of a small forest friend. This curious squirrel, standing alert among the leaves, reminds us of nature’s hidden beauty and watchful peace. Discover the story behind the brushstrokes and the heart of this one-of-a-kind painting.

Marion Dutton’s art is as inspiring as she is. At our upcoming Open House, you’ll be able to see her original Winter Creek — a 2023 acrylic landscape that captures the calm beauty of a snowy stream. Marion’s warmth and creativity shine through not only her paintings but also her teaching with MazArt Academy . Explore Winter Creek and other originals like Golden Meadow, Gentle Eyes, and Golden Winter Whispers in person.

ainted from a Kevin Hill workshop reference, Tuscan Lavender brings a quiet countryside to life with soft purples, warm light, and a sense of gentle age. Hope Blakely added her own voice to the scene by shifting the buildings, softening the palette, and letting the wall crumble just a bit — creating a piece that feels personal and timeless.
