I’ve been walking and drawing and googling “nature preserves near me”, “best beaches in Minneapolis,” “mpls bird sanctuaries,” “Minnehaha Creek access,” and then walking and drawing and googling some more.
My art is inextricably tied to my experience outside. The places, landscapes, birds, critters, feelings are directly translated from existing in the world, noticing the beauty, sometimes gasping, photographing, and then creating from photo and feeling about the beauty that was found.
Life joyously moved from the mountains and deserts of Utah, to the lakes and woods of Minnesota a few months ago, but I continue to seek out beauty, it just takes on different forms and colors and sizes now that my scenery has changed.
