Detroit-based artist Louise Jones is NCMA’s newest artist in residence. She goes by Ouizi as an artist, and her murals are popping up throughout Raleigh. You can find her larger-than-life florals on NCMA’s campus, or downtown on the corner of Davie and S. Dawson Streets. Indian Summer, pictured above, is inspired by botanical prints, in tandem with the Raleigh Murals Project. Ouizi’s work Summer’s Where You’ll Find Me is also displayed on the exterior of NCMA’s East Building, as you enter the recently opened exhibition, The Beyond: Georgia O’Keeffe and Contemporary Art. The Beyond runs through January 20, and you can hear Jones discuss her work January 11 at the museum.
