Northern Light

Northern Light illustrates the affection both artists and viewers of art hold for our northern landscape. From the woods and lakes of the Boundary Waters, to the rolling hills and waterways flowing into the Mississippi from the Driftless Region, the big skies and prairies along the North and South Dakota border, and the patterned farmlands across the center of the country, artists find an endless source of inspiration here. The drama of the landscape is matched by the ever changing theater of weather – the sweltering summer sun which creates hazy atmospheres, powerful thunderstorms, and cloudbursts, the blizzardy white winters, and the brilliant blue skies which accompany crisp autumn days. It is no wonder that artists continue to look to the northern landscape for their subject. The exhibition will feature work in a variety of mediums, from etchings and drawings to watercolors and oil paintings.
