First Friday Opening Reception and Homecoming at Southeast Missouri State University at Dobbins Gallery on the fabulous Holland School of Visual and Performing Arts. 

Please join us for the Artist Reception, 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. at Dobbins Center Gallery on the Southeast River Campus. See Teresa Dirks' art work on paper and canvas, created and inspired by the river . . . its power and its beauty. 

This free reception marks the opening of a month-long exhibit of works by Southeast alumna Teresa Dirks who will be recognized at the Show Me Center later in the evening during the annual Copper Dome Society Dinner as one of the University’s 2016 Alumni Merit Award recipients. Dirks, of Kansas City, MO, graduated from Southeast in 1998 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English and a minor in art. The exhibit will remain on display through Dec. 9.

Happy to announce that I will be the featured artist for KCAC Artist Lifestyle Project on Instagram. Please follow me starting October 29, 2015, for six days on Instagram @kcartistscoalition and see a week in the life of this KC artist. My hopes are to share some of my inspiration, along with a few works in progress and possibly the process of a commission in the works. If time allows, (it is Halloween you know,) you might even witness a painting marathon of sorts. Who knows what the week holds?
