Join IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts (MoCNA) and artist Holly Wilson (Delaware Tribe of Western Oklahoma/Cherokee) currently featured in the MoCNA exhibition, Holly Wilson: On Turtle’s Back. This discussion will happen via Skype™ (a video phone call, when projected onto a large screen allows for dynamic virtual dialogue).

Holly Wilson is a contemporary multimedia artist. She uses the figure as a vehicle to lure the viewer into her stories. Her work weaves threads of various narratives to create a tapestry that tells stories which are sacred, precious, personal, universal, powerful, and at times, volatile. Wilson received a BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute in ceramics in 1992, an MA in Ceramics in 1994, and a MFA in Sculpture in 2001, both from Stephen F. Austin State University. Her works are in corporate, public, and museum collections throughout the United States, as well as national and international private collections.
