The room was full. The art was incredible. And just like that, year 25 is in the books.

There's something about the Paul Farrell Memorial Art Auction that never gets old, art finding new homes, students seeing what's possible and a community showing up for art.

Seeing former students return, as alumni, as collectors, as supporters, is proof that what happens in the OPSU art department lasts long after graduation.

To our generous sponsors, our talented artists, and every single person who bid, thank you. A special thank you to Bryon Test, David Elder, Larry Wiggins, and Yvonne Sangster, the faculty who built this program and made everything the Paul Farrell represents possible.

Here's to the next 25. 🎨

🎨 Artist Spotlight: Paul Farrell 🎨

As we celebrate the 25th year of the Paul Farrell Memorial Art Auction, we pause to honor the artist whose legacy made this tradition possible.

Paul Farrell’s dedication to art and education continues to shape the creative community of the Oklahoma Panhandle. Through this auction, his legacy lives on in the opportunities created for future generations of OPSU art students.

Each year, the work presented in his name reminds us why this event exists- to celebrate art, support students, and carry forward the spirit of creativity he believed in.

🎨 2026 Artist Spotlight 🎨

Rachel Miller

Rachel Miller shares work in this year’s PFMAA that explores gesture, form, and the expressive potential of mixed media.

✨ Artist Bio
Rachel Miller is a multidisciplinary artist working in sculpture, ceramics, drawing, and mixed media. She earned her BFA in sculpture from South Dakota State University, where she developed a practice rooted in form, gesture, and material exploration. Drawing and sculpture continue to inform one another in her studio work. Her work is informed by an interest in lived experience and the way it is carried through physical form.

Drawn to quieter, rural communities, she first sought out South Dakota for its pace and openness, and in 2023 she relocated to the Oklahoma Panhandle. For this exhibition, she responds to her current surroundings.

She teaches at OPSU, where she is committed to mentoring students as they experiment, take risks, and develop an artistic voice that is uniquely their own.
