For OSU 25, I painted 25 volunteers over a three day period who had a connection with OSU, as my commemoration of Oklahoma’s centennial.

I solicited any one with any connection to OSU (current or former: students, staff members, faculty members, administrators). The volunteers consented to be video taped, and some footage from this had made it into ART 365: The Documentary (2008), a feature-length documentary about 6 Oklahoma Artists. This documentary has been accepted into a number of national and international film festivals, and has been screened at a number of art museums. I have also completed a 28 minute video, called OSU 25, which is a time lapse video of this project.

This project is one of many painting-an-hour projects, like KAIR 2008, and 24/24, whose purpose is to demystify art.

These models names are listed under acknowledgments, along with their OSU affiliations at the time that they graciously agreed to participate in the project.
