Cynthia Marcoux Artist Talk

108|Contemporary is proud to start off our 2024 year of exhibitions focusing on Oklahoma artists with Cynthia Marcoux: Beaded Memories. On view from February 2 - March 24, 2024, this exhibition is a collection of items that have been transformed with beads into long lasting gem-like tributes to Marcoux's childhood.
Cynthia Marcoux is an Oklahoma artist who has resided in Tulsa most of her life. She graduated from Oklahoma State University with a BA in Art, and worked at the Tulsa Zoo as an artist and photographer for 28 years. She currently works as a free-lance art handler for local galleries and museums.
Working in realism, Marcoux's disciplines include mixed media, colored pencil, graphite, photography, and beading. Her works have been shown at numerous venues in Tulsa and the southwest. The work in Beaded Memories uses a technique inspired by 20th-century Huichol art, which allows for threadless beading.
