The Minimize Gallery located inside of Mize Art Studio exclusively exhibits smaller artworks from local and regional artists.  By only showing work 9" x 12" or smaller, the Minimize Gallery intends to make purchasing original artwork from talented artists more approachable for art lovers and patrons.  In addition, working smaller tends to be less time intensive for many artists, and as a result, the Minimize Gallery frequently is able to feature NEW works from a great many of the exhibiting artists.

TERENCE KOEHN
WHERE I LIVE
AUG 7 -28, 2026
​
Terence Koehn is a Kansas native and self-taught landscape artist from WaKeeney, in the heart of Trego County. His work is a personal reflection of his experiences in the open spaces of Kansas, particularly the areas of Trego County that have been a part of his life’s journey.  His paintings reflect a love for the stark beauty of rural Kansas, with a focus on the places often overlooked—where neglect, overgrowth, and deep contrasts in color create compelling compositions. Koehn’s landscapes invite viewers to step into the Kansas countryside, offering a moment of reflection on the places that hold meaning and the quiet beauty of the everyday world
