This last year was spent working on twelve paintings that illustrate the invasive species in Minnesota for a show entitled “Gone to Seed” exhibited at Silverwood Park. I was fortunate that the opening was right before the Minnesota Stay in Home Order. All park buildings are now closed, which includes the park gallery, but the trails, sculpture garden and poetry stops are still open. You can even see several of my paintings from the windows of the gallery, thanks to the creative working of Eileen Cohen the Exhibition Coordinator.
The Gallery Conversation with the Invasive Species Cooridator, Missy Anderson has transitioned to become a virtual conversation about Garlic Mustard and will be paired with a video about my process making the painting depicting the species. I hope you’ll check it out once it’s posted!
Finally, I used this opportunity to completely redesign my website to highlight specific installations, including the work from Gone to Seed. It is a project I have wanted to tackle for a while, but I needed time to fully devote myself to it. I currently have time and I am really happy with the redesign!
