Unfold the wonders of art and nature this spring and summer as Tulsa Botanic Garden hosts the Oklahoma debut of FLORIGAMI IN THE GARDEN, an exhibition of monumental sculptures by Santa Fe artists Jennifer and Kevin Box. The exhibit opens Sunday, March 2, 2025, when the Garden reopens for the year.

FLORIGAMI IN THE GARDEN showcases 20 installations of museum-quality metal sculptures inspired by origami, the centuries-old Japanese art of folding paper. The larger-than-life sculptures of blooming flowers, birds, grazing deer, galloping ponies, and other flora and fauna themes will be exhibited throughout the five formal gardens at Tulsa Botanic Garden. The Oklahoma debut will also premier three new pieces by Box, including a 17ft. tall kinetic sculpture of colorful butterflies that will “float” above floral displays.

Kevin Box grew up in Bartlesville, OK and graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. His work has received numerous awards and is held in prominent collections worldwide. In 2004, he was the youngest member ever elected to the National Sculptors' Guild.

FLORIGAMI IN THE GARDEN features Box’s own compositions as well as collaborations with his wife, Jennifer, and world-renowned origami artists Te Jui Fu, Beth Johnson, Michael G. LaFosse and Robert J. Lang.

The exhibit includes interpretive information and cast metal examples of origami pieces folded and unfolded. An audio tour is also available for guests to dial into and listen to the artists speak about the work as well as a scavenger hunt sheet.

FLORIGAMI IN THE GARDEN will be at Tulsa Botanic Garden through September 21, 2025. Admission to the Garden will include the exhibit and is free for Garden members. Find hours, admission and more information at tulsabotanic.org or by calling 918-289-0330.

Nesbitt Gallery | Davis Hall, 1727 W Alabama Ave, Chickasha, OK 73018

This June, 1515 Lincoln Gallery presents Out of the Studio, a two-person exhibition from artists Anthony Dyke and Susan Morrison-Dyke. The show features new works created in Boston at their Fenway and South End studios. The artists relocated to Boston from Oklahoma City in 2020. Their shared experience living among New England’s splendid natural beauty and the proximity to New York has resonated in their colorful paintings, sympatico with one another yet distinctively different.

Color, form, and physicality leads the way in Anthony Dyke’s new body of works. Through process-based abstraction, land and cityscapes are explored to unearth relationships between intersecting planes and pictorial space. Anthony begins with small maquette paintings, allowing controlled gestures to guide his marks into concrete forms. From these preparatory sketches, he begins building the surfaces of his larger works, transforming traditional painterly mediums into something more tactile by mixing oil paint with a formula of beeswax and linseed oil. The result is an alchemy of geometry, texture, and color where liminal and physical space coexist.

Susan Morrison-Dyke’s excellent show of paintings are buoyant in their color and form. They are at once joyous and dark. Using the language of geometric abstraction and allowing the materiality of paint to play a central role in the work’s surface, titles like Coney Island Park and Queen’s Mate hint at something more subversive. At close inspection, the use of collage is visible, creating a pentimenti of information that invites the viewer to consider its meaning. The mood of Susan Morrison-Dyke’s paintings is brilliantly orchestrated via the use of color theory, art history, and an intuition about rewarding the eye. (Review by Andrew Fish for ART SPIEL July 2024).

The gallery is honored to present Out of the Studio, featuring a dynamic duo whose work bursts with color, form, and texture. This vibrant exhibition invites visitors to look closely and uncover the stories embedded in each richly layered piece. The show opens with a free public reception on Thursday, June 12, 2025, from 6–8 pm, and will remain on view until Saturday, July 19, 2025. Both artists will be in attendance at the opening reception.

LORE: The Otherworldly with the Familiar

A Solo Mixed Media Exhibit by Oklahoma Visionary Nichole Montgomery

July 11–31, 2025 | Liggett Studio, Tulsa, OK

Opening Reception: July 11, 5–8 PM

Gallery Hours: Thursdays & Saturdays | 1–5 PM

More info: liggettstudio.com/25/lore

Step into the neo-mythic mind of Nichole Montgomery, Tulsa-based mixed media artist and 2023 Oklahoma Visionary. LORE blurs the line between truth and tale—where some figures lived, others were conjured, all resurrected through Nichole’s unflinching, distorted lens. Drawing inspiration from her childhood in Oregon’s Mount Hood wilderness, extensive travels, military experience, and a vivid blend of personal memories—both bright and dark—Nichole merges ink, photography, digital techniques, paint pens, and mixed media into captivating works unlike anything else. Curious? Just reverse image search her creations.

This unconventional exhibit reshapes storytelling and memory, transforming familiar scenes into curious, dreamlike moments—each piece intimately personal, drawn from the imagination of a woman reflecting on life’s midway point.

Bonus Event: Grounding Art Class | Open to all ages. No artistic experience necessary. Just bring any tools for drawing lines.

July 20, 1–3 PM | $50

Register here: liggettstudio.com/25/neurographicart

Join Nichole’s hands-on “neuro art” workshop and learn to ground yourself by translating inner emotion into flowing linework—a practice she’s honed for decades to escape, express, and reshape reality. Along the way, you’ll discover that solitude in your art isn’t loneliness but a serene freedom—and it’s exactly why she’s seldom seen in public.

Join us for a month of mystery, memory, and mixed media magic—where forgotten stories surface, inner worlds take form, and even the quietest marks leave a lasting echo.

“The mundane suffocates, so I twist it until it screams something new.” — Nichole Montgomery
