Artist talk / Reception Thursday March 4, 2010 12:30 - 1:30 p.m.
Don’t let her cape fool you; Cierra McGuckie is a serious (and super) artist. She works two-dimensionally in oil, acrylic, ink, charcoal and mixed media. Cierra attended Tyler Junior College, in 2005 - 2007. She graduates this spring with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Texas at Tyler.
McGuckie’s art is painterly and rich but with the influence of commercialism’s symbols and iconography. “My inspiration includes women from the past with their differences and similarities to our culture today.”
