Come visit with us at Four Mothers Collective on Saturday, September 19th from 2 - 4 PM!

✨ Join us September 19th from 2:00PM – 4:00PM for Okcate Smith McCommas collage workshop, “Home, Revisted”! ✨

🐚 Through her art, Okcate (Mvskoke, Bird Clan) celebrates the sacred relationship between Body and Land. A multimedia artist, she grew up in the Mvskoke Homelands and is now based in Tvlse, Oklahoma. Throughout the workshop, Okcate will share about her journey growing up in the Homelands of the Mvskoke people, making her way to the present-day Reservation as an adult, and her experiences going back and forth as an artist.

🏡 Participants will be provided with collage materials to build their own scene of a place they call home that they may take with them upon completion of the workshop.

🎨 Okcate is also our Spotlight Artist for the month of September and her pieces are currently on display at our studio. During this workshop, Okcate will also be available to discuss and answer questions about her art process and her current pieces.

📣This workshop is free to attend, registration is required. (Link below)
We look forward to seeing you there!

When your art piece interacts with another across the way. I love the way Teri Scroggins’ dress is reflected in my piece from this angle.

I accidentally captured this last night. It’s “standing” almost exactly where I was when I took the picture, looking out over the water!

Mvto to everyone who came out last night to the opening of “Reclaiming Turtle Island: Native Resistance and Resilience”. If you couldn’t make it, we’re up until August 1st 🙂.

Mvto, Four Mothers Collective & Mid-America All-Indian Museum!

Meet the Artist: Okcate Evita Smith McCommas (Mvskoke)
We’re honored to feature the work of Okcate Evita Smith in Ripple in Traditions, a traveling exhibition curated by Four Mothers Collective.

Okcate is the Mvskoke word for scarlet. Though it was chosen as her name from a CreekDictionary before she was born, Okcate entered this world at dawn in Aurora, Colorado, wailing like a fire engine, brick red, and sporting ginger hair. The name fit! To this day, she strives to be as bold as her name. Her art reflects her lived experiences through vivid chroma, distinct shapes, various textures, and evocative poetry and music.

A lifelong multi-media artist, Citizen of the Mvskoke Nation with Purépecha, Scottish, and Eastern Band Cherokee ancestry, Okcate approaches art as a powerful tool of expression and an agent of change. Through her work, she addresses intergenerational trauma and celebrates the sacred relationship between Body and Land.

She grew up in the Ancestral Homelands of the Mvskoke in Georgia. Her respect and appreciation for nature grew from daily exposure to the power of the ocean and the delicate balance of the marshland ecosystems. She learned firsthand that respecting and protecting the balance of Mother Earth is essential for the health and survival of all beings.

Okcate approaches each project with the utmost thought and care, and each piece is brought from idea to fruition with throughlines and backstories for the shapes, content, colors, and medium. She is influenced by a great deal of loss and survivalism, and she uses that pain to bring awareness, thoughtfulness, imagination, and positivity into the world.

Okcate’s piece, Sew the Seeds: Three Generations, reflects the role of women as carriers of knowledge across generations. Through hand-painted earrings representing Grandmother, Mother, and Daughter, the work honors the ways Native women have protected and carried culture despite forced assimilation and removal from their homelands.

You can view Okcate’s work as part of Ripple in Traditions, now on view at the Mid-America All-Indian Museum.
