Whoever came up with that nasty saying, ‘Those who can’t do, teach,’ clearly hadn’t met Pam O’Krent. She’s the art instructor at Lamplighter — and has been for years — but her personal creations are often showcased in local galleries.
This weekend, for instance, O’Krent’s pieces will be on display at the 8180 Art Gallery on Elmbrook, near I-35 at Mockingbird. “Works on Paper” is her largest solo show to date, featuring more than 50 pieces.
Stop by March 12 between 4:00 and 8:00 p.m. to check out O’Krent’s work, which incorporates, “printmaking, collage with paper and fabric, objects, oil pastels and colored pencils, and stitching onto paper,” according to the announcement from Lamplighter.
Here’s an example of a classic O’Krent:
