On exhibit now through May 9 at the Norick Art Center at Oklahoma City University is an exhibition of ambitious soon-to-be graduates who have obviously devoted themselves to their studio practice. Especially notable, Shannon Crider, Clinton Bowman and Jackie Jones have definitely honed their artistic voices while in school.Crider's patterned, wistful collages show both technical skill and emotional depth. The layers of the physical painting mirror the layers of history that seem to lie in each image. Jones' portraits scream with personality. Somewhere outside Chuck Close's over sized portraits and Andy Warhol's outrageous colors, Jones captures verve. Bowman's photographs chronicle surreal spaces. His eye for negative space and color enliven what almost seems like photographs of a possible future.
Congratulations to these seniors.

Well done! CONGRATULATIONS to ALL Grads!
Hey young Grads
good show I say
you've done it now
you showed us how
You've had some good times
You've made some good friends
now some will go off
to do it again
So good luck in college
You can do it
Have a real wild time
but don't over do it
Try to make friends fast
many of the early ones
will be the ones
who last
Unless you love
to get up early
don't schedule your classes
way too early
And try to get to class
as much as you can
you'll be glad you did
then you'll deserve a cold can
But try not to party
too much before class
you'll more likely attend
and you won't be an ass
If you fail the easy Calc
don't take the harder one
just keep your eye on the ball
between all the fun
You'll be entering
sort of a fantasy land
of reading, writing, and thinking
with those who can lend a hand
So, do your best with grades
but at least finish the task
and soon another graduation
will come at last...
So
CONGRATULATIONS
GOOD LUCK
and HAVE FUN!!!
:)
