Sharon Burchett and Stuart Asprey Showing at Firehouse Art Center Gallery
NORMAN, OK – The Firehouse Art Center presents the artwork of Sharon Burchett and Stuart Asprey, which will be on display at the FAC Gallery January 8th through March 5th, 2010. The FAC Gallery is located inside the Firehouse Art Center at 444 S. Flood in Norman. Gallery hours are 9:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. The gallery exhibit is free and open to the public. A reception will be held on February 12th, from 6:00 – 10:00 p.m. at the FAC Gallery. The reception is also free and open to the public.
Sharon Burchett is a local mixed media artist specializing in abstract painting. She has had solo exhibits at the Gingko Tree Studio and Gallery in Norman, the University of Oklahoma’s Graduate College, the OU School of Art and Art History’s Lightwell Gallery, the Norman Public Library, and at the OU Federal Credit Union. “My art is my personal expression and I work in a manner based on inspiration. My art is about passion and the world,” Burchett said of her work.
Stuart Asprey is a ceramic artist who was born in Leicester, England and now lives in Norman. He earned his undergraduate degree in studio art from Humboldt State University in California and his MFA from the University of Oklahoma. Asprey has been invited to participate in over 40 national and international exhibitions over the past seven years, including Feats of Clay (2009 Second Place), History In The Making (2007 First Place), Red Heat: Contemporary Work in Clay (2005 Honorable Mention) and the Orton Cone Box Show. His current artwork is a reaction to the overabundance of media-driven information and its role in the social and historical transformation of specific people, places, and events into cultural myths and legends.
The Firehouse Art Center is funded in part by select grants from the Oklahoma Arts Council, Norman Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the City of Norman Parks and Recreation Department, as well as a corporate sponsorship from Republic Bank and Trust.
