Drawing his aesthetic from African American folk art, African tribal motifs, and contemporary pop culture, Oklahoma artist Skip Hill has produced a body of work that includes mixed media pieces, paintings, collages, illustrations, and large-scale murals. It's no wonder Skip is the recipient of the 2024 Paseo Arts Awards Lifetime Achievement Award. This week he talks with David and Greg in an extended conversation about his creative process, mentoring, and looking for the "why."

In this episode, David and Greg discuss exhibits in several venues that opened in October and some opportunities for local artists, including a unique multimedia performance with Tulsa's Signature Symphony. They also discuss the American Artists, American Stories exhibit at Philbrook through the end of December.

Dean Wyatt draws inspiration for his abstract paintings from the weathered landscapes and turbulent skies of his native southwestern Oklahoma. His work has been exhibited throughout the southwestern United States and has been selected for solo exhibitions at the Oklahoma State Capitol and the Tulsa Performing Arts Center. Dean joins David and Greg to discuss his inspiration, his creative process, and the rhythm and musicality he finds in his work.
