Deines Cultural Center

RUSSELL–The next exhibition at the Deines Cultural Center is by Hoisington artist, Christina Lamoureaux.

“Pulse of the Prairie” features ceramics, paintings, and installations which reflect on her memories as a child experiencing nature. Lamoureax’s work reflects of time spent in the prairie and her childhood passion for drawing horses.

A Kansas native and Fort Hays State University alumna, Lamoureaux balances art-making with 28 years of teaching practice. As an artist and teacher, Lamoureaux received a 2013 Kansas Teacher of the Year Nomination Award. Her research and studies through FHSU, combined with the support of the Hoisington school district, allow her to offer a rich platform of artistic achievement that showcases her vision of the environment and its lessons.

An opening reception will be held Friday, August 14, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Admission is free and all are welcome. “Pulse of the Prairie” will be on display until September 18, 2015.
