Heart of a Place at Banfill-Locke

I just completed a set of paintings for Heart of a Place, a two-person show with painter Susan Solomon at Banfill-Locke Center for the Arts in Fridley.

Featured paintings are larger scale pieces painted from plein air studies of Lebanon Hills in Dakota County, MN.  There are also a few from Kawishiwi Falls in Ely, MN.  The space is lovely and the staff, in particular Jeffrey, were super friendly and accessible.

The show runs from May 20 - June 17.

An artist reception will be held on Saturday June 3 from 6 to 8pm. There will be a poetry reading by Katrina Vandenberg and Deborah Keenan during the reception!  Below are some images of work from the show.
