Art by The Cunninghams

Nick Cunningham's work is authentic to say the least! The finest of traditional cowboy engraving inspired by the nostalgia of Americana pop art, history and romance. He repurposes parts and pieces with a piece of the past being a part of a new piece. His appreciation for legacy is artistically teased in modern contemporary pieces.

Nick started fabricating and selling his pieces while in high school and continued working his way through Midwestern State with his craft, graduating in 1994. Determined to make it as an artist, he’s done nothing else. For over 30 years.

Exa Cunningham has enjoyed a career in graphic design and all matters of advertising for the past 50+ years. Since recently semi-retiring, she’s returned to “making art” for her own enjoyment. An illustrator at heart, Exa prioritzes her subjects, their layouts and messages. She now works in pastels, water color, charcoal, ink and graphite and is looking forward to trying some other mediums.

Now living in the middle of a pasture near the banks of the Red River in Oklahoma, she enjoys flora and fauna...thus her art typifies what she likes. Enjoy.
