ADA, Okla. – East Central University presents guest artist, Kayla Ohlmer, and her work in the Pogue Gallery, inside the Hallie Brown Ford Fine Arts Center.
Ohlmer’s exhibit is currently available for viewing inside the Pogue Gallery with an artist talk and reception scheduled for Feb. 25 at 4 p.m.
According to Ohlmer’s artist statement, “I have always felt as though I existed between two realities. This feeling has manifested itself into hours of looking at a mirror and deep self-examination. However, the person that I see seems unfamiliar to the person that exists in the real world. As an artist, I am interested in the way one simultaneously exists in two spaces.”
Ohlmer is an Oklahoma native who began blowing glass during her high school years in Oklahoma City. She is a 2014 graduate of Centre College in Kentucky and received her MFA from Southern Illinois University in Carbonate in 2020. She has served as Studio Assistant at the Chrysler Museum Glass Studio in Norfolk Va. and attended institutions such as Pilchuck Glass School and Penland School of Craft. She currently serves as the Program Director at Tulsa Glassblowing School in Okla.
Ohlmer’s exhibit will remain open to the public during ECU operating hours until the artist talk on Feb. 25.
The 70th Annual Student Exhibit will take place in the Pogue Gallery beginning on March 10.
