Road trips recharge my soul and fuel my creativity.  On this road trip, I headed to Sleepy Eye, MN where they have the nicest owners of Sleepy Eye stain glass shop.  The drive takes a few hours to get there, and I enjoy taking the single-lane county highways.  The landscape is dotted with farmhouses, newly planted crops, gently rolling hills, small creeks with forest groves.  I was blessed with Bob Ross kind of clouds, Horses greeting me to say good morning. 

This scene captivated my eyes as the hint of lime green sprouts just breaking the jet-black soil accompanied the Seeds Mother Nature planted earlier in the Spring.

Winter Solstice at the Griffin

Published

Exhibition Date – December 9, 2021 – January 2, 2022

Reception Date December 9th – 6 pm

It was a well-visited exhibition. We had over 200 people during our artist reception and over the course of the month, we saw 273 people during regular business hours. With covid keeping people home, this was a great showing I think.
We featured the work on our Instagram stories and posts, and those posts received collectively around 1k views.

Red Farm Landscaped in Corn

Heading south on Wisconsin’s highway 35 I explored the Driftless area (definition-having no aim or direction: free from glacial drift a section driftless except for loess deposits).  Highway 35 winds along the Mississippi River following its path south.  I made it to Alma and headed back north on county roads like I, KK, and 25 which snaked through the Driftless area hills and valleys.  I explored this region capturing the farm life landscapes from corn crops to cattle grazing in the fields as my soul recharged from the stresses of my work week.  I love to get lost on country roads and just absorb the scenery like a sponge.

Farming is not just for growing crops; it is for the cultivation… of human beings! – Masanobu Fukuoka.  I admire those who choose the greater good and create nourishment for everyone to enjoy.  In conclusion, I was humbled by all the hard work the farmer put into his field and blessed to be able to capture such a picturesque scene which reminded me of a Folk-art painting.

 It is a creative process; we must first plant the seeds and nurture them along the way to ensure their full growth, as they will in turn provide us with nourishment, which is essential not just for survival but for success.

Artwork statement

This image reminded me of my childhood and every time I saw a Goatsbeard, I would pick it and make a wish.  So, in this image, I see wishes and choose to hold on to my innocent belief that they are not weeds but wishes delivered to the Universe via a simple breeze.  So next time you see a Dandelion, stop, pick the weed, and make your wish! Only true believers will see their wishes materialize!

About Danger:

Danger

I found this sign walking along Mississippi River Road in Saint Paul; I found this sign warning me of the appending Danger of the cliff’s edge.  This sign defines Covid-19 and Civil unrest and now attacks Women’s right to choose.  We are entering dangerous times and need to stand up for all Equality.

artist statement

I create multi-sensory wall art that engages your curiosity of what lies beyond; what you see is personal to you.  Creating art for me helps me connect with you, exhibiting my ability to make you feel like you are there with me. They inspire you to desire to touch my art, making you try to view it and feel it at the same time.

Seeds Planted and Red Farm landscaped in Corn.

My perspective on Nourish:

Seed Planted: Planting seeds and nurturing them, making sure that they grow, is the key to nourishment of one’s mind, body, and soul. 

Red Farm landscaped in Corn:  As you can see, nurturing and caring for your seeds will ensure that they provide you with nourishment.

It is a creative process; we must first plant the seeds and nurture them along the way to ensure their full growth, as they will in turn provide us with nourishment, which is essential not just for survival but for success.
