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.
