November 28th, 2014 Cody held a final exhibition in Wichita, Kansas before a planned move to Southeast Asia.  The weather was fortunately very mild for the time of year, reaching up into the mid 60’s for the high.  A good mix of old familiar art community members, as well as new faces, arrived on scene.  The solo exhibit included a kind of visual genealogy of work, spanning from old seminal paintings from his Undergraduate period at Wichita State University, as an instructor at Frederick Community College in Maryland, Graduate thesis works from The Academy of Art University in San Francisco, and post Graduate work in the studio in Wichita, Kansas.

Magazine’s 23rd print publication debuts Cody Seekins Fine Art.  The author of the article, Roxanne Golding,  is a very talented and intelligent young woman.  Her engaging participation within the contemporary world of high fashion and fine art is active, current, and upbeat.
 
The experience of collaboration with Roxanne as well as the rest of the crew at Schön! was, to say the least, an extremely rewarding interaction.  The level of humanity, interest, and professionalism exhibited by the team was highly refreshing, and it is no wonder that Schön! has rocketed into such an auspicious place as a modern cultural periodical despite only being launched in 2009.
