In this episode of Integrated OKC, I sit down with longtime Oklahoma artist Paul Medina for a conversation spanning nearly 50 years of making art, taking risks, building community, and watching Oklahoma City's creative scene evolve.

What happens when a talent you walked away from keeps calling you back?

On Episode 10 of Integrated OKC, Wesley Luster sits down with Oklahoma artist Keith Luke to talk about rediscovering his creativity, developing a recognizable painting style, and eventually making the decision to pursue art full time.

In this episode, I sit down with Clarence Long III (@clarencelongphoto), a fine art macro photographer making big moves in Oklahoma City and beyond. Clarence shares his journey from shooting flowers and bees with his dad to partnering with institutions like the OKC Zoo, Myriad Botanical Gardens, and becoming the featured artist for Allied Arts’ 2026 campaign.

We dive into:

• How cold emailing changed his career
• The balance between passion, business, and hobby
• Breaking barriers as the youngest and first Black Allied Arts campaign artist
• The spiritual and personal growth that fuels his art
• Building a fine art photography business with luxury archival prints

This is a powerful conversation about creativity, resilience, and making an impact through art.
