Rhiana Deck
Artist Statement
Rhiana Deck is of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. She works primarily with acrylic paint, aerosols, and occasional beadwork for family and friends. Her work has been displayed and exhibited in Oklahoma, Colorado, and Georgia.
Since the age of four, she has used her art as her creative outlet. It is a part of who she is. Deck paints in her own unique style, purposely evoking emotions, arousing curiosity, inspiring ambition, and stimulating the imagination. Her style changes and grows with her. She aims to connect with others in this beautiful dream we call life. “Beauty is light set free.” – A.D. Posey
Rhiana Deck is one of the four artists to collaborate on the Native Mural, an underpass located in Oklahoma City on Sheridan Avenue and Gaylord Boulevard. She worked with Chad Earles of the Caddo Nation on the North wall titled Earth & Sky. The mural will stand until 2026.
Rhiana’s work was featured in our exhibition Inclusion in Art at The Art Hall, December 7, 2018 - March 31, 2019.
