“Viewpoint”&nbsp;brings together the distinct artistic lenses of Brian Jensen and Mary Meuwissen to explore how we perceive our surroundings.&nbsp;Jensen offers a viewpoint rooted in clarity and memory—his precision-based acrylics on wood capture the iconic beauty of Minnesota’s landscapes and lakes with a storyteller’s eye. In contrast, Meuwissen offers a viewpoint from within. Her abstract, luminous layers of oil and wax paintings strip away the literal to reveal the emotional essence of a place. When looking at her pieces, you witness the joyful shifting of energy in nature.&nbsp; Please visit the website for ticketing details.
