Inspired by Wool
From First Steps to Inspiration
Svitlana Parks solo exhibition showcasing the unique intricacies of her work 'painting' with dyed wool has sadly come to a close. As one of our best selling artists, with over 22 pieces sold in this show alone, the Live Oak Art Center has proudly added one of her works for this show to our permanent collection--this piece is now a permanent installation in our Laura Ann Rau Gallery. Thank you Svitlana Parks, for your contributions to the Live Oak Art Center!!

Permanent Collection
The Previous Exhibit displayed in the Emma Hay Galley, before the 2025 Annual Member's Show, was a group of works pulled from our Permanent Collection. These are paintings that we have purchased or otherwise acquired throughout the Live Oak Art Center's time in the Brunson Building. Most often, an exhibit created from our Permanent Collection is composed of paintings depicting Columbus--this show was no exception.
