==Pickens Museum Opens New Exhibition==
To celebrate the dawn of a new decade, Pickens Museum has opened a new exhibition in the atrium of City Central at 400 E Central in Ponca City titled "Winter in New York" which includes three murals of Seventh and Eighth Avenues in New York City. The murals by Oklahoma artist Roger Disney, depict traffic heading towards Times Square evoking the famous New Year's Eve Ball that descends atop One Times Square, as an estimated one million people in Times Square, millions nationwide and over a billion watching throughout the world are united in bidding collective farewell to the departing year and expressing joy and hope for the year ahead.
The exhibition will be on display until the end of January. There is no admission charge. "This is a opportunity for citizens of Ponca City to view murals that evoke the iconic images of New Years in Times Square.," says Hugh Pickens, Executive Director of Pickens Museum. "It is time to reflect on not just a new year but a new decade in Ponca City and what the citizens of Ponca City can accomplish in the coming ten years."

==Artist Roger Disney==
The murals are by Tulsa-based artist Roger Disney. Originally from central Oklahoma, Disney has traveled extensively including briefly living in England, Australia, and the Czech Republic. His work experience is quite diverse including print and web design, illustration, custom furniture, teaching, photography, his comic "Pulp", and software design yet tends to stay within the creative realm. Roger has completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Oklahoma State University and begun his Master of Fine Arts studies.

Roger's future plans include the possible completion of his MFA and return to collegiate art instruction as well as exhibiting his work at shows throughout North America. He currently lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma with his wife Allison and son Jack.

“The dominant portion of my work consists of oil painting on stretched canvas applied entirely with palette knife. No additives or thinners are used in the paint mixing and application process and all work is done without the help of an assistant.”

“Influenced by the Impressionist and Expressionist movements, as well as my experience as an illustrator and designer, the subject matter of my work is largely derived from still life and personal photographs along with the occasional painting created without visual reference.”
