She earned her BFA in Printmaking from the Kansas City Art Institute and her MFA in Studio Art from the University of Illinois, and she currently serves as Assistant Professor of Art at Tulsa Community College.

This event is free and open to the public.

About the artist:

Growing up in Oklahoma, Katherine Hair Eagle had ample opportunity to develop a deep appreciation for and familiarity with nature and the nonhumans that we share space with. Some of her earliest memories are not of people or events but are of nonhuman encounters. Using this connection to the natural world as a framework,

Hair Eagle has always hoped to make work that is accessible to a wide audience and enjoys the story-telling and conversations that arise when viewers experience her work. She explores intersections between humans and nonhumans through prints, paintings, and sculptural work in typical art-space settings, but also creates outdoor, site-specific installations that broaden the scope of who interacts with her work.
