Sailing Into Spring
The Howell Gallery is pleased to announce "Sailing into Spring," a solo exhibition of new mixed media paintings by Suzanne Mears. The exhibition opens Thursday, March 5th with an artist’s reception from 5-7pm.
When the March winds blow, the sun gets brighter, and spring flowers start to emerge, it's the perfect time to present a show of new floral paintings. Mears brings a whimsical collection of colorful, joyful, and energetic works featuring spontaneous splashes of floral exuberance, textured layers, and a contemporary abstract approach.
The paintings, created on canvas, paper, and board, employ a rich variety of media including fluid acrylics, oil stick, alcohol inks, and pencil. Several pieces feature three to four coats of resin as a medium, adding luminous depth and dimension to the work.
For the past 25 years, Mears has concentrated primarily on fused glass, a demanding medium requiring mastery of precise firing techniques. While painting was always part of her creative practice, the technical demands of glass became a full-time pursuit. Her signature style—colorful, bold, and contemporary—has now found renewed expression in these paintings, which continue her exploration of joyous color and spontaneous mark-making.
Complementing the paintings are glass sculptures featuring cresting waves and sailboats, providing the inspiration for the exhibition's title and bridging Mears' established work in glass with her renewed focus on painting.

Blooming West featuring new works by Aleksey & Olga Ivanov
Opening Reception: Thursday, April 24th
Watch for more details!
Husband-and-wife artist team Aleksey and Olga Ivanov are bringing their visionary work to Howell Gallery in Oklahoma City, with their new April solo show Blooming West. Each of their thirteen unique egg tempera pieces are meant to spark conversations about the sacred beauty and exquisite isolation of the desert, and to explore the soul’s primal connection to the wild, to the untamed and the often underappreciated.
The show will celebrate the more iconic themes of the west—cattle, cowboys, towering clouds and vivid skies—but also those fleeting moments of grace often discovered by chance: a shadow cast across a cactus bloom; a young frontier girl facing her future, dreams in her eyes; a solitary prickly poppy framed against rolling hills.
It’s a very personal show for them. The Ivanovs have lived in the American West for decades and feel an especially deep connection to the desert. “Some people love it at once, and some people don’t. We’ve loved it from first sight,” says Olga. “If you’re driving along in the lonely desert and you see a car stopped by the side of the road, that’s us. We’re off in the distance, photographing everything beautiful before us, plants and creatures and landscapes that have existed for thousands of years, and are still blooming today.”
They hope their work will resonate with others who love the West as they do, for its timeless enchantment, for its eloquent allure, brushed across the land and in their art.
