Avian Night Sky: A Collaborative Exploration of Darkness and Transition

Showing at Landmark Gallery at the Schmidt Brew House St Paul MN; along with a Companion Exhibit at the National Eagle Center in Wabasha MN Avian Night Sky: A Collaborative Exploration of Darkness and Transition.

This captivating display celebrates the fading beauty of our night skies, threatened by light pollution. Through ethereal paintings, the artists explore the transformative power of darkness. As birds soar through starlit heavens, they become metaphors for our own journeys through the subconscious realms of life. Garrigan's environmental activism echoes in the celestial backdrop, while Lommen's narrative weaves threads of the LGBTQ experience into the cosmic tapestry.

Featuring the music of Jerry Kosak and poetry by Stephen Wilbers, creating a symphony of art, sound and verse.
