Tour of Lawton Murals

Tour of Lawton MURALS 2023

Welcome To Lawton!

Welcome to one of SW Oklahoma’s best kept secrets!

When you drive around Lawton, if you keep your eyes open you’ll find a living, breathing outdoor art gallery intended to create an “arts for everybody” experience. Totaling 73 murals as of March 2023, this ever-expanding showcase of Southwest Oklahoma artistic talent offers all visitors the opportunity to see and appreciate the works of Darry and Terry Shaw, Robert Peterson, Justin Hackney, Shailah Ramos, Danny Niedo and Dallas Morgandale.

With new art being created almost weekly, keep your eyes open for new additions to the city’s Artscape.

Inside, you’ll find a locator map, and a bit of background on each of the murals featured.

Look inside for a photo contest you can enter for prize drawings throughout the year.

While you’re here, we hope you’ll enjoy a meal at one of our local restaurants, and meet some of the friendliest people you’ll come across.

This publication is sponsored by the Lawton Economic Development Corporation, the Lawton/Ft. Sill Chamber of Commerce and The Lawton Constitution.

We hope you enjoy your visit.

And, again, “Welcome to Lawton.”

STRONG PARTNERS Lawton Fort Sill is commonly mentioned as a joint community for a good reason.

Lawton and Fort Sill have been inextricably linked at the hip since Lawton was established in 1901 at the gates of Fort Sill, which has occupied this corner of southwest Oklahoma since 1869.

By plane, train or truck/automobile, Lawton is ideally located to get people or cargo anywhere in the country. Interstate 44 easily delivers you to Wichita Falls, Texas, and northbound carries you to Oklahoma City, Tulsa and onward to St. Louis. Need to get farther? Lawton-Fort Sill Regional Airport has commercial jet service. And the Stillwater Central Railroad can ship your cargo from coast to coast.

Lawton has a robust education system with K-12 working closely with Cameron University and the Great Plains Technology Center to best prepare children and adults for the modern workplace.

Oklahoma is home to world class research universities.

The healthcare industry is one of the major economic employment sectors of the Lawton community. Almost all medical needs can be met without having to leave Lawton, which has a breadth of medical facilities not typically found in cities of similar size.

Give us a call or visit us at lawtonedc.com.

We'd love to talk to you about business opportunities in the hub of Southwest Oklahoma.

The Dude from the Coen brothers classic 1990s movie “The Big Lebowski” now abides on the west wall of Pat’s Wash Tub. While some would say this one’s the coolest, The Dude could retort, “That’s just, like, your opinion, man.”

Darry and Terry Shaw

Twin brothers Darry and Terry Shaw have been making – and selling – their art since they were 5-years-old. The dynamic duo have been putting the “art” into partners their whole lives.

Gaining notoriety for their abilities in high school and at Cameron University, the Shaw brothers have become nationally known artists as they incorporate their skills into the sign-making world. They created many of the well-seen graphics on many colleges’ basketball courts you see every March Madness.

Be it working through the Shaw-owned Monkey Business Signs to their current residency with Arrow Signs, the brothers have created many of the most noticed signages in Lawton. With dozens of murals (and growing) from their brushes brightening their hometown, the brothers Shaw have made their mark on Lawton.

Justin Hackney

The owner of the Vaska Theatre since 2015, Justin Hackney began as a teenaged employee at the historic Lawton movie home.

A film buff, Hackney first started his public expressions of art with the Vaska Shadowcast. It developed a fan base as the performers act out the movie projecting on the screen from its stage.

Beginning with “Rocky Horror Picture Show,” performances continue to expand with more shows added.

In spring 2020, Hackney began painting images from movies and TV on the outside of the building. Under the guise of “Spreading Paint,” he’s added murals throughout Lawton and continues to spread his artistic wings.

Danny Niedo A plumbing specialist by trade, Danny Niedo felt compelled to share the spirit of his late-nephew, Isaiah Whitebird following the tragic death in May 2021.

Niedo said he always found artistic expression as his escape as a child. From drawing and painting to writing and poetry, he called it his way of making sense of the world.

After bringing himself out of a dark place through his art, Niedo said Whitebird’s death and its impact on all who loved and knew him inspired him to honor the young skating prodigy at the place where Whitebird expressed himself most.

Robert Peterson Self-taught Lawton artist Robert Peterson has become an international art superstar over the past six years. He’s come a long way since becoming the first African American to earn the Southwest Oklahoma Artist of the Year title in 2017.

That same year, he also was selected from over 1,000 artists to receive the Spectrum Spotlight Artist of the Year honor during Art Basel Miami.

Exhibiting and selling his original paintings from galleries across the United States, he is among celebrity collections of Sean Diddy Combs, Alicia Keys and more. It’s led to commission works for a range of corporations, including Nike and Monster Products.

Peterson’s murals in Lawton have found fame, beginning with a Russell Westbrook mural that was featured in the Oklahoma City Thunder’s promotional videos. His final promised mural in Lawton was a collaboration with the Shaw brothers

Shailah Ramos (Red Elk) After finding her artistic calling during college at Cameron University, under her maiden name of Red Elk, Shailah Ramos began gaining notoriety for her mural work in the Lawton area.

Owning and operating The Native Hippy shop and art gallery, she offered a space for creativity and artists to be able to show their work and offer opportunity for their

works to be sold.

After taking on a role as a prevention specialist with the Comanche Nation Prevention and Recover program, Ramos has continued to share art and artists through her work, enlisting the aid of others for a mural project in Cache.

Dallas Morgandale Lawton native Dallas Morgandale has been earning a name as an Oklahoma artist to watch over the past two decades.

After graduating Cameron University in 2010 as a graphic design major, Morgandale has grown his range of styles and mediums over the years.

From painting and graphic design, to mixed-media and expanding into furniture building, Morgandale has grown into a Renaissance artist as his skills have erupted from 2-dimensional into the third dimension.

Morgandale’s murals are a reflection of his independent spirit.

Now based in Oklahoma City, he continues to make his imprint on his hometown through his art.
