Roya Mansourkhani: Whispers of Persia
Exhibit Details
- Dates: February 2–27
- Place: Art Corridor II Gallery, Building SE03 (formerly ESEC)
- Opening Reception:
- Date: Wednesday, February 4
- Time: 11 a.m.–1 p.m.
About the Exhibit
TCC SE Art Corridor Gallery is proud to present the exhibition Roya Mansourkhani: Whispers of Persia. This exhibition opens to the public on February 2 and runs through February 27. The opening reception is Wednesday, February 4, from 11am–1 pm with an artist talk at 11:30 am.
In this exhibition, Mansourkhani references her Iranian (Persian) heritage. The somewhat recent past and the very recent past of Iran has been tumultuous. These artworks are an expression of her responses to that turmoil and her love of that country and how it has shaped her.
About the Artist
As an artist, Mansourkhani embraces many different media, including oil, acrylic, watercolor, ink, and typical drawing media like charcoal and colored pencil. Her artwork is at once abstract and yet also figurative. Motion is depicted as an abstracted flow of vibrant color, and the figure frequently seems like a distant or almost ghost-like human image.
Mansourkhani is currently an Adjunct Professor of Art at Tarrant County College Southeast Campus and at Dallas College. Mansourkhani lives and works in Arlington, Texas.

About the Exhibit
Barroso is a painter and potter whose work typically reflects his Mexican heritage. To quote Barroso, “As the son of immigrant parents, I hope to pay homage to my people and the dignity with which they work to make a living. I mix 2-dimensional imagery, influenced by personal narratives, with 3-dimensional functional forms.”
His process is time-consuming and requires long hours. As he explains, “… I paint images with black underglaze, a small brush, and a pointillism technique. I chose pointillism on functional vessels because the process is time-consuming and labor intensive. My wrists and neck hurt after thousands of dots placed with care and accuracy to produce an image. The process becomes an act of devotion. I cannot think of a better way to show my respect and admiration for my people and their will to survive than with labor of love and time invested.”
About the Artist
Barroso was born in Oklahoma, and grew up in San Miguel Octopan, Guanajuato, Mexico. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Oklahoma and his Master of Fine Arts in ceramics from the University of North Texas in Denton, TX. He received the ceramics Monthly Emerging Artist Award in 2020. His ceramic work is represented by Companion Gallery. He is currently an Adjunct Professor of Art at Tarrant County College Southeast Campus. Barroso lives and works in Princeton, Texas.

About the Exhibit
Matthew Jones is a self-professed “nature enthusiast” from rural Ohio. His attempts to find a balance between his love of nature and his life as a consumer led him to the two-week Ruth Smith Art Residency in North Tawton, England at Dartmoor National Park. This exhibition is a result of that artist residency experience.
In sum, he spent three weeks hiking through the English countryside and experiencing the culture, history, and geography of the West Country, primarily focusing on Dartmoor National Park. For two of those weeks, Jones was an artist-in-residence at the Ruth Smith Gallery just north of Dartmoor. To quote Jones – “The purpose of my stay was to formulate a comparison between the American park system and that of England’s. What I found is laid bare for you to explore for yourself.”
About the Artist
Jones is currently an adjunct professor of art at Tarrant County College Southeast and has taught at The University of Dallas and at Texas Christian University. He is a member of The Cedars Union Cohort 5 (Spring 2025-Summer 2026) Studio Artist Program.

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.

McKinney was born in Wisconsin and raised in Dallas, Texas. She currently lives and works in Carrollton, Texas.
She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in fashion design from the University of North Texas and her Master of Fine Art in painting from Texas Woman's University.

Kenna Boles Prior: Passages

- Date: Thursday, February 13
- Time: 2–4 p.m.

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.
