About the Exhibit
This exhibition is representative of McKinney’s ongoing interest in the use of alcohol inks as an expressive medium.
Her curiosity about alcohol inks and other media is a factor in how she remains inspired by the art making process. As she says, “Process is the excitement that drives the action.”
In reference to these current works, the artist explains,
I strive to communicate the spirit of spontaneous expression, not working from any preconceived notion or design, letting the energy flow with colors, lines, shapes, and dots.
I find alcohol ink to be an excellent medium that allows me to capture the energy of the day as it flows onto the paper.
Through my work I want the viewer to see their own interpretation, bringing joy, pleasure, and insights, as they discover what may be hidden in the meaning for themselves.

About the Exhibit
For this body of work, Prior was inspired by an abandoned house near her studio. She used a 35mm camera to take photographs of the exterior and interior spaces.
Then she used a process of several steps to create the final image, including double exposures, photogravure with inked plates, and Chine collé. The resulting images are eerie, perhaps nostalgic, and could hint at a variety of narratives.
The artist explains,
The original family long gone, the house was visited or lived in or vandalized by the homeless, drug dealers, bored kids, and others, like me, curious about what is left. Passages is recognizing those who have walked or peered into these spaces and the stories I do not know.
About the Artist
Prior works in Cedar Hill at her historically restored studio—The Purple Farmhouse.
She began her career as a freelance designer for craft periodicals and then became interested in fine art media and especially printmaking. Her work has been exhibited locally and statewide.
Since 2020, Prior has participated in PrintAustin’s PrintEXPO + Steamroller event. In the summer of 2024, she completed a residency at the Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center, which included a solo exhibition.
She served on the Texas Visual Arts Association board and is currently on the board of the Texas Jewish Arts Association and is a member of Art House Dallas.

Martin Molina: What a Relief
Exhibit Details
- Dates: October 28–November 22
- Place: Art Corridor I Gallery, Building ESEC
- Opening Reception:
- Date: Wednesday, October 30
- Time: 5–6:30 p.m.
About the Exhibit
On exhibit are 44 artworks, including:
- Woodblock prints
- Hand-printed t-shirts
- Print and mixed media wall installations
Originally a strict acrylic and oil painter, Molina has expanded his use of multimedia in printmaking. He has been using painting and printmaking to explore insects and cultural identity.
Molina says of his work:
[It is] primarily rooted in printmaking, draws inspiration from diverse sources that shape each piece.
Currently, I am captivated by the concept of ‘Lotería,’ a traditional Mexican bingo-like game that replaces letters and numbers with symbolic images. In this series, I challenged myself to reinterpret the visual and cultural associations of the original game, creating a collection of woodblock prints with subtly coded imagery.
In addition to ‘Lotería,’ this body of work is also influenced by the history and cultural significance of October. The eerie atmosphere of the month, along with its connections to horror films and the Halloween holiday, inspired a selection of pieces that explore themes of fear, folklore, and the macabre.
About the Artist
He was raised in a military family moving from Germany to the United States as a child.
After earning his B.F.A. from Stephen F. Austin State University, Molina joined the U.S. Army Infantry and was deployed to Iraq and the Philippines. While serving, he was heavily involved in creating platoon logos and designs. After returning from his first duty station in Alaska, Molina completed an M.F.A. in Painting and Printmaking from Texas A&M Corpus Christi.
