    I have been drawing and painting since childhood. I’ve earned two Master’s degrees and spent over 25 years in marketing, but have always kept one foot dangling in the creative pool. As a native Hoosier–born in Indianapolis and raised in Muncie–my artistic style is like Indiana’s weather… constantly changing. I paint mostly in oil and acrylic, but also dabbles in watercolor, oil pastels, pen and ink, colored pencils and mixed media. Two of my lifelong dreams are to be a cartoonist and write and illustrate a book.

    Greg is an accomplished entertainer who performs solo concerts across the USA.  He is also the Chief Instrumentalist and a lead singer with the Grammy Award winning New Christy Minstrels.  Greg plays 6 and 12-string guitar, banjo, autoharp and other acoustic instruments.  His concerts include wonderful stories and comedy from the road while touring with the Minstrels and many other  great performers like Steve Martin, Barry McGuire, Pete Henderson (Skiles and Henderson), Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, and more. His performances are professional from start to finish.  No dead times between songs.  Greg uses a digital harmony machine that instantly adds up to four harmonies of his voice.  So he sounds just like the artists he covers, like Simon and Garfunkel, Everly Brothers, Eagles, and of course, The New Christy Minstrels. Greg travels with a complete PA system that will cover audiences of two to three hundred, and has a larger PA available to cover the larger venues.  He spends the winter months in Florida (January thru April) and the rest of the time in Central Indiana (except for tour dates with the New Christy Minstrels). If you are looking for a totally professional concert show, then you need to contact Greg O’Haver now.

    “Technique is the Consequence of Concept.” While making my art, I may not know exactly where I am heading, but I do know how to get there. By allowing my technique to be the consequence of the painting’s concept and following a working path of expected surprises coupled with fearless exploration, I’m collaborating with the nuances and idiosyncrasies of both the materials and the surface. We three engage in real and complicated conversations. By revealing moments from these conversations, we create unique visual experiences. Similar to peeking, I adjust as I go.

    Whether it is through the lens of photography or through the stroke of a paint brush, I am most content when I have the freedom to bring beautiful things to life. My style has changed and evolved over the years, as I experiment with different mediums. However, I have always considered myself an abstract expressionist. Having a natural affinity toward bright colors and whimsical movement in my work, I love to tell stories and make people feel something. I cannot help but create. And so I will. May all who encounter my work be moved, inspired, and blessed by what they see and feel. And I also happen to be a homeschooling mama to six of the MOST amazing kiddos on this planet!

    The unexpected oddness of our lives – twists, turns, stumbles and rebirths, all form our expression, stance, and style of interaction, always embellished with the subtle marks and scars of life’s experiences. My figurative claywork is composed of hollow, handbuilt forms. I use various pinching, pulling, slab, and attaching techniques. Surfaces are often carved, textured, or roughened . After a bisque firing, pieces are rubbed and brushed with layers of underglazes, majolicas, and glazes. There are often multiple firings to achieve the surfaces and colors desired. I also work with tiles, decorative, yet functional, pottery forms, and painted drawings on roofing felt.  Come by my studio at the Harrison Center on first Fridays, or check my website to see examples of my work.

    “As an artist I have made a lifetime commitment to art by participating in numerous exhibits and auctions in and outside the country. These experiences bring together not only the essence of art but the vast knowledge of cultures which express themselves through artistic manifestations. I seek subjects that are eclectic, curious and symmetrical in their balance, in order to create images that achieve an aesthetic arrest.”

    My work is mainly painting and mostly abstract expressionistic. I work in acrylics. My subject matter includes what ever comes to mind while painting my heart out. Like all artists, I’m a work in progress. Always changing and always seeking something new and different. That’s what makes painting an amazing and fun experience.

    I have resided in the Indy area nearly 20 years and have recently immersed myself into the growing arts scene of the Midwest. Although largely self-taught, I have taken many formal and community art classes. It was through an experimental art class where I discovered that I enjoyed learning new techniques, especially with acrylics and acrylic mediums. These adventures have led me to the exciting sphere of abstract art. Recently, I have also been creating with alcohol inks on yupo. I am a juried member of the Hamilton County Artists’ Association (HCAA) and recently placed 2nd at the HCAA Recognition Exhibit with my work “Woodland Faeries”. I also serve on the HCAA Board as Co-Chair of Partnerships & Promotions. I have solo exhibited, as well as had individual pieces in galleries throughout central Indiana. My paintings are also part of private collections throughout the U.S. and Canada. With help from my artist husband Jim Oliver, I also teach fun and educational classes for seniors using alcohol inks. I welcome new opportunities for call-outs, collaborative work, commissioned pieces large and small, memberships, net-working, anything to further my connections with other artists and events. Please feel free to contact me! I welcome all inquiries.

My career now includes independent historic research including written material for over 80 historic buildings in Indianapolis.” Orr

    Being an African-American female Gen X’er, I grew up under the influence of hip hop, Pac Man and MTV.  My work reflects insight into African American roles and speaks boldly of pride, beauty, diversity and independence. I comment on the relationships between people, places and things all in an attempt to tell the real stories.  Because I take on the role of “storyteller”, it is then my duty to see all and tell all.

    The stimuli for my artistic work is the translation of experiences and moments into a visual record. I have a compelling desire to understand life, remember beauty, find purpose in tragedy, and ultimately be whole as an individual. I believe that visual art is a bridge to personal wholeness and a tool for wholeness in communities at large. My artistic language incorporates landscape, nature, human figure, and color. Utilizing my background in much and concepts of music theory, I incorporate my artistic vocabulary to create visual representations of melody, harmony, rhythm, dissonance, and counterpoint to further emphasize the content of my work.
  • Quincy  Owens
    Quincy Owens
    Visual Arts: Mixed Media, Painting, Sculpture, Visual Arts
      Quincy Owens is a full-time artist born and raised in Southeastern Indiana where the cornfields quite abruptly give away to rolling, forested hills. The pastoral grace and subtle beauty of this place have always inspired the artist to reflect upon his surroundings and how such a calm landscape hides a malicious past brought forth by massive glaciers that scoured through the hillside demolishing all in their path. In the studio Quincy intentionally crushes tempestuously through the early stages of each canvas as a reference to the beauty that may reside in destruction. In the end, each work illustrates this awkward beauty as aftermath of violence. His best work exemplifies this beautiful destruction. Typically, hard-edged geometric patterns are used to subdue but never overcome the disarray that lies within each painting, within each of us. Instead, a marriage between chaos and order is carefully fashioned. These two polar opposites are brought together to coincide on one plane in harmony through the intentions of the artist. Quincy decided he would pursue life as an artist while still a teenager. Gifted athletically he excelled at high school level sports, being offered scholarships from a number of universities, only to sustain a life-threatening injury. At this point he realized he was meant to be an artist. Conceptually, his work has been viewed as an autobiographical maelstrom of design and color choice while also provoking a strong sense of catharsis with an exuberance not seen often enough in this age. His work is currently represented in New York, Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. He has collectors throughout the United States.
