A Visit With DJ Hejtmanek About Her Participation In The Oh, Tulsa Exhibit

Jeff sits down with DJ Hejtmanek to hear about her experiences and perspective since she started her paining practice and about what it has been like for her at a deeper level to have work showing in the Oh.Tulsa exhibit at Living Arts of Tulsa.

DJ Hejtmanek (pronounced HATE’-mon-ik)
discovered a passion for painting during the
pandemic, which is inspiring her to spark beauty,
balance, and freedom – one brush stroke at a time.
With no formal training, she is learning on the fly and
loving it. DJ has worn many hats – most recently
serving as a fundraising professional for an
international non-profit organization, “Dovie” to five
granddaughters, JoJo’s dog trainer, and licensed
minister.

DJ creates paintings and mixed media art, and her
intensely personal artwork depicts whimsical creatures
of land, sea, and air, and dreamy, subconscious
landscapes. Her creations examine our existence and
original design, often splashing her interior world
across a canvas, complete with transparency,
imagination, whimsy, muddle, and God-focus.

A native of Louisiana, she and husband Louis live in
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, with their grown children and their families nearby.
