Upcoming Gallery Exhibit: Diane Jackson - A Retrospective

August 13-September 4

IAO will host a retrospective exhibit to celebrate the photography of the late Diane Jackson, a long-time resident of Oklahoma City. An intrepid world traveler, Diane captured artful black and white images of the people she encountered in diverse settings. Her kindness and sense of humor, combined with a genuine empathy for others, was the key to her ability to record vulnerable moments. The photographs show her intense love for children and animals, but the images are always sensitive and never cloying.
