Stillwater Arts Festival

Today I attended the Stillwater Arts Festival that took place downtown. I was very excited in seeing a variety of artist there and lots of people going about looking at things. I've never bought anything at an art festival out of the few I've been to, but today I did.



I bought a small ring from Steve Cast of "Cast Creations". His work was beautiful and his larger pieces had price tags to reflect it. The piece I got was 10$ but I love it. It looks so simple and has an openness to it, yet the structure is complicated as the wire is knotted around itself. It's my souvenir that will remind me about all the things I saw today.

Ty A Kelly, was one of the first artists I stumbled upon at the festival. He had these beautiful landscapes up in his booth and some other paintings that were more playful. Other than painting, Kelly works in pastel and print making. He has an online gallery and a blog too. LINK

Morgan Robinson (Morgan Interior Accents) was one-of-a-kind! Robinson has the very interesting sculptures and furniture. I suggest browsing through Robinson's gallery and portfolio HERE. I don't know exactly how to phrase what I thought about the work, I like it a lot. Robinson says himself, "I make forms and give them function". That's a perfect description.

Wes Jackson's style definitely stood out among the artists in attendance. He says on his facebook site, "My work while traditional in application gathers its strength from the urban aspect of street art....My style is uniquely "Tulsa" and I have Tulsa in my blood." I really like the illustrations combined with other mediums, he really puts time into his work and it shows. Here is his portfolio site.

Stephen Smith was an impressionist artist. I really enjoy all the colors impressionists use. Here is his website. I loved his piece Linnaeus Water Lilies.

Jim Shelley makes glass jewelry. He had some really neat owls and turtles for necklaces and many other small glass pieces. He also can make custom portraits of pets. All of these can be seen at his website.

Rebecca Livingston had a booth full of pottery. She had these neat clocks too! I've got this weird thing for clocks and time in general. I want to have a clock collection someday on a wall in my house.
