​

Through texture, vivid colors, and expressive works, Abundance explores themes of creation’s generosity and provision while celebrating the richness, harmony, and joy found in life. Join EFA to experience a collection of paintings inspired by nature, beauty, music, and the meaningful moments woven into everyday life.

Based in Enid, Oklahoma, Sharon Sudduth is a representational painter known for her large-scale floral paintings and expressive portraits. Primarily self-taught, Sudduth began painting in 2012 and later adopted oils and the alla prima (wet-into-wet) technique in 2018. Her fascination with light, form, and color fuels a vibrant and intuitive painting style that has earned recognition across the Midwest. Her joyful works have been collected by art enthusiasts from coast to coast.

​

“Joyful, colorful, inescapable…it’s easy to overlook a flower on the side of the path, but blooms painted on a grand scale in all their complexity and splendor ensures they cannot be missed!” said Sudduth.

​

Edmond artist Marie Kash Weltzheimer has enjoyed a flourishing artistic career since 1988 and is celebrated for her luminous pastel and oil paintings inspired by music, nature, and the beauty of everyday life. A Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America and a Master Circle Artist with the International Association of Pastel Societies, Weltzheimer’s award-winning work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and featured in numerous publications. Through symbolic still lifes and lyrical portraits, her work reflects themes of family, belonging, hope, and human connection.

​

“The intention with my work is to focus on what is true, honorable, pure, lovely, and admirable by bringing forth the extraordinary, the resonant beauty, and the hope that exists around us,” said Weltzheimer.

​

The opening reception is free and open to the public. Community members are encouraged to attend and enjoy an evening celebrating creativity, connection, and the beauty of nature through art.
