Come check out my hybrid exhibition One last road trip leads to Sanctuary for the Soul. This Exhibition is a mix of my Photozaics framed art offered in color and infrared photographs images with a sprinkle of my black n white Infrared photos matted in black with simple black framing.

 As we approach 1 million deaths from Covid in our country, we are all challenged with finding ways to process our grief. In 2019 I lost my father and decided to take his ashes on one last road trip.  Or, at least, that was my plan, but I then decided to include him in every trip I’ve taken since.  The photographs I am taking are my way of thanking him for giving me my eye for photography. Going on these road trips is a memorial to him in appreciation of the ever-changing landscapes.   I went out into the world with an open but broken, heart looking to find peace in Mother Nature’s arms.  I’ve found her to be a great place to recharge my soul in the past. 

The viewer will be surrounded by nature photos with mosaics that will open them up to another plane of consciousness. The addition of mosaic frames will awaken your curiosity about what lies beyond the frame.  Each viewer will have a different experience.  This exhibition is a place for visitors to recharge their souls from daily stresses, sparking their senses and curiosity.   As I create my photozaics I often lose myself in the process.  The viewers of my work also find the details of the mosaic will draw them into the photo where they will find a sanctuary for their soul.   I truly believe art heals the mind, body, and soul.  The Norwegian University of Science and Technology discovered a definite correlation between participating in cultural activities, i.e. creating art, visiting art galleries, and attending concerts with increased rates of good health.

Minnesota Women’s Press- December 2021

Published

December’s Changemakers issue of Minnesota Women’s press they did a write-up about my Empty Frame in Texas and how I chose to stand in solidarity with women’s right to choose.  I couldn’t have done this without the support of Art to change the world members.

Nov 4-7, 2021, During Art this Way show  

Location: Solar Arts Building, Address: 711 NE 15th Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55413
Event hours:
11-4 5-9 pm
11-5 5-9 pm
11-5 noon – 8 pm
11-6 noon – 4 pm Details:

ACW leader, Natalie Mcguire, submits her unique photography merging into her mosaic frameworks to galleries all over the country. The work, Bridge to Wonder, was accepted into the exhibition at the Arcadia Art Show in Tyler, Texas. When Texas passed the law denying the marginalized their reproductive freedom (the wealthy can travel across state lines), Natalie felt compelled to take action.  She wrote to the curator of the exhibit that, respectfully, she could not send her art into a state which would support such a trampling of “the right to choose”.  Much to her amazement, the curator of Arcadia Art Show, Dace Kidd, responded that she understood and asked if she could install her statement on a black background, framed, in the place her work would have been hung. This was an encouraging outcome, but then so what?  Who is this punishing?  ACW is going two steps further to help those who need reproductive services NOW.

ACW is also aware that a boycott of all things Texan punishes all Texans.  If you would like to help the women currently in crisis, please send a donation to The Lilith Fund – supports the right of all Texans to make their own reproductive choices, regardless of income. https://www.lilithfund.org/donate

Short Bio – Artist statement: Protest due to recent laws passing in Texas

Replacement artwork titled: Empty frame formally known as “Bridge to Wonder”

The image you see before you is an empty frame instead of “Bridge to Wonder,” an image that captures my soul and the way I see life to be; as a female artist, I cannot with goodwill send my art to a state that doesn’t recognize women as equals or allow them control over their own bodies.  I choose to stand in Solidarity with the women of Texas and other states.

Empty Frame formally known as Bridge To Wonder replaced the image that was supposed to be in this exhibition.

Empty frame is priced at $10,000.00 and all money I make on this frame or exhibition will be donated to The Lilith Fund. Link Below:

ADP Project (Arts District Palette)

Published

Since joining Art to change the world (ACW) I’ve been blessed to collaborate alongside artists, business owners, educators, and elected officials on the ADP Project (Arts District Palette)- where Artists and neighbors mix. 

Clay squared to infinity studio was the location where a great group of volunteers bagged all the goodies that were donated by local establishments.

The Huxely is the location where we dropped off the goodie bags for new tenants moving in to develop relationships in the NE Arts District Community.https://www.minneapolismn.gov/government/city-council/ward-1/

Thank you, Kevin Reich,
