Touching the Past will be a retrospective of internationally-recognized painter and sculptor Enoch Kelly Haney’s 40-year career. The exhibit will include paintings and sculptors by the artist.

Kelly is a full-blood Seminole-Creek Indian. From humble beginnings in rural Seminole County, Kelly became the first full-blood American Indian to serve in the Oklahoma Legislature and a critically-acclaimed artist. When Kelly was merely two years old, his mother noticed his artistic ability. He went on to professionally train at Bacone College in Muskogee and graduated from Oklahoma City University with a degree in Fine Arts. He went on to exhibit his art throughout the United States, England, Austria and Asia. Haney had won many awards including the title of Master Artist of the Five Civilized Tribes.
